Yes, you can do it yourself.. There are 2 kinds of compression tests.. The basic one that you can do and the leak down test that you need access to compressed air...

Basically you go to a auto parts store and buy a compression gauge...

The rest is pretty easy. I am sure it has been posted many many times... Make sure you take the fuse out for the fuel pump so you don't start yourself on fire.
