You can test it from outside your firewall, using the following:
nslookup -type=TXT yourdomain.com

Hello Bharat

Thank you for taking the time to reply to me - but please forgive my
technical ignorance - How do i test our SPF record in the external DNS
zone? Which website do i go to?

When i go to MX Toolbox's website or DIG I can see our SPF record.
When I go to dnsstuff.com and microsoft.com I can't.

Sorry if i am missing something in your reply.

regards
