To test it out, you can do a few things...
1. To test the amp: Plug the cord into the amp, turn on the amp and turn the volume up a bit (say halfway). Grab the plug that would go into the guitar with your hand. It should make a buzzing sound if the amp is working. (I'm not trying to electrocute you, its perfectly safe).
2. To test the guitar: Try to borrow a friend's amp, take your guitar to a friend's house that has an amp, or take your guitar to a local music store and see if they'll let you plug into one of theirs to see if its your guitar that's not functioning.

3. To test the cord: If 1 and 2 check out ok, it's probably the cord. Buy a new one.
