If the battery is good, then you do a charging test on the car.
You can check for charging voltage (should be at least 13.2v) and/or amperage...there are induction ammeters (Fluke makes one) where you put a clamp around the red wire from the alternator and check for charging.
But I would guess the alternator is not at fault if the car runs after jumping to start it....the second battery is probably marginal or bad.
