How can I easily check the resistance of plated surface

Right now we have a problem about a silver plated surface. I would like to know how can I check the resistance of it. Is there an easy way to check condition of surface after plating.?
Is there any method for evaluate thickness after plating.

Dear Komsak,

Use four point probe method to check the resistance.

Many coating thickness meters are available in the market.

Surface condition - what specific property you are looking for?
