How should one check a binos performance

Sometime in the future I will purchase a bino more capable than my current 8 x 42s. This will not be done without a lot of research. That will provide information about the performance of different models of binoculars. However, once I am holding a brand new quality model in my hands, that binocular might not be quite up to par. How good are my 8 x 42s? Well I don't have enough experience to really know. They are certainly better than my old 6 x 30s which make all stars look like comets and my eyeballs feel like someone has been trying to rip them out of their sockets. Something is obviously wrong there. But what if a new pair of binos was just moderately out of whack; something undetectable in the daylight but would compromise astronomical use. Something that would not be obvious unless one knew what to look for. What should someone look for at night that would indicate things are not quite up to par and this pair should be sent back to the vendor?
