You pressurise the cylinder on The compressions stroke with both valves closed using compressed air through a leak down tester that contains a pressure regulator and a couple of gauges, the difference in the gauges then tells you your losses.
Any leaks can often be heard either by listening to the end of the exhaust or the airbox inlet or the crankcase breather
