How do I check the spark?

How can properly check the spark on a lawn mower engine. I used to just hold on and pull and if I got a jolt it was ok, but I really want to check to see if there might be a more accurate test. Someone had suggested holding the lead a 1/4 inch from the crankcase and look for a blue spark. Thanks, Oneputt
