If it's all in one room an extension cord or length of wire can test continuity. First find what switch has the hot feed. That's a must or all else is wasted time.
If you have a hot lead in one box, come back and we'll sort this. BTW, if the light is wired between the switches, it's a different wiring; needs 4, not 3. If the hot is at the light box, again wiring is a bit different.
So first things first. And the hot should be unswitched except for the breaker. So a non-contact voltage detector is all you need.
