The diode or LED to be tested is simply connected either way round between the test probes, and the cathode connection is indicated by the LED closest to that connection illuminating.

Someone came to me just recently to discuss a power supply problem in which one particular diode would fail shorted following a mechanical drop test of the unit. Over and over again this would happen.
