Default Car issue question

Im thinking its the alternator but before i shell out the bucks and time to replace one. I want to make sure.

The car was running fine yesterday for a while then all of a sudden i was giving it gas and the car wouldnt accelerate and lost power. First gear would loose power around 20mph 2nd around 40mph and i got back home and i tried turnning the car on and idle it and it basically spit and sputtered then died on me and i cant get it to start again.

Is there a way to check to see if it is your alternator?
