How do I test these Mosfet ?

Hi all,

Yesterday I go thru some of my used parts and found the following three Mosfet (or are these transistor ?). I know that if the Mosfet with label put on top of a table with three pins pointing to my direction, the left pin is Gate(G),middle pin is Drain(D) and right pin is Source(S). For my simple test, set to diode range, I name my digital multimeter black probe as negative(-) and the red probe as positive(+). My test results are as follows on the three Mosfet.

My 6 test sequence -S&+G, -S&+D, -G&+D, -G&+S, -D&+G, -D&+S​
1) F044
IRF630A result is 1 , 889, 1, 1, 1, 175​

2) D2012T result is 597, 1, 1, 1, 594, 1
3) A1837 result is 1, 1, 574, 577, 1, 1

FYI, -S&+G means I am attaching the multimeter black negative probe to Source and red positive probe to Gate. The reading value of 1 is overlimit on my multimeter. What does the above test results mean? Is there a simple test using multimeter to test if a Mosfet is still in working condition? Please kindly advise.

Any suggestions is appreciated.
Thank you.
