I echo the same advises. A cheap $10-20 meter will do the job and many models have a continuity setting . Many Mogami, Canare and the likes cables have different colored sheathing for each group of wires. If you're going to be working with a specific make and model cable, develop a color code mapping such as red = right channel, blue = left channel, black = L/R ground, clear = L/R ground....etc. For each phase pair of wires at the source termination i.e. 3.5mm/2.5mm/4pin XLR, I would twist the set of wires to help keep track of which set is L and R channel.
Any visual check should always be tested by a meter or cable test box (used CT100) and finally the ears before attaching the connector barrel(s) and applying heat shrink.
