Default Microwave oven

It appears that our microwave oven has lost cooking/heating power over the
years. Is that possible: Can the magnetron put out less power as it ages?
How can one test the heating power of a microwave oven: Perhaps by heating
a known quantity of water to a desired rise in temperature over a prescribed
time period? Are there any such measures for a microwave oven of a known
original/rated power?
