how long should struts last?

So I have now 82k miles on my car and was wondering how long struts will usually last?
Bonus question: Is there a different/better way to test if they're still good other than pushing the car down on one corner and see how often it bounces back? My problem is that my springs are so stiff that the whole test really doesn't work...
