"Or, is there a way to test either of these parts?"
Replacing parts could be an expensive way to diagnose things. Your friend now has a perfectly good ignition switch or starter assy as a backup. Good thing he didn't buy a new battery as well.
To answer your question regarding checking these two parts:
Ignition Switch: Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between the source (battery) terminal and the various switch positions (On, Off, Start, Acc).
Starter: Bench test off the car using jumper cables. If no activity, could be just the solenoid and not the motor. The solenoid can be purchased separately.
