First thing to do is manually crank the engine and if it turns, then you proceed to testing the starter.

Above link explains how to test the starting tcircuit. to thest the starter, disconnec the starter solenoid wire and use a remote wire to apply battery voltage to it. If it fails to crank, the starter is bad.
