Why do you need to "test" for this? Do you see light bleeding under the normal circumstances of daily usage? If not, why worry yourself?

Link to backlight bleeding and dead pixel test

Just set the solid black background completely full screen and check under a pitch black environment (or extremely low light condition). If you notice any yellow or white bleeds and non-uniformed black colors than you have backlight bleeding.

If you have to ask this question, you are not someone who will be impacted by this issue even if you do have it.
