Do not do that; this could result in a surge at least blowing your fuses and most burning out your electronics. If you want an easy way to test alternator hold a piece of metal by it; since it is an electromagnet if it is operating properly the metal will be attracted to the alternator (as long as it is a piece of metal with magnetic properties).
