After you jump the car, disconnect the jumper cables . Measure the voltage while the car is running . Should be close to 14 v even with some accessories on.
If you get 12 v or so, the charging system has issues.
Measuring battery voltage while jumper cables are still attached probaby measures the voltage of the other cars alternator.

Normally if your alternator is bad, you can start the car with a jump but it will die immediately (assuming the battery has already completely run down). If it won't even turn over with a jump, it sounds like a bad starter. There are lots of threads on here from people who put in "new" starters that turned out to be bad (most of them are rebuilts). I've never heard of a bad alternator keeping it from starting at all with a jump.
