You'd have to change your nameserver manually unfortunately.

But you could build a good webpage that actually measures how well your current nameserver performs over a wide variety of different types of lookups, both warm and cold caches etc.

I get it you could sorta hack together a one-off test, but please refer to the context of this thread as mentioned previously.
