Alternator may test good but, in my opinion, it shouldn't. Go through the wiring if you want, but I would just get a new alt.

Why should it not tear good

Maybe the belt is loose or missing (broken). This would explain why the alternator would test good but it is weird that the tech doing the testing would not see this. Anyway, whatever current is being produced by your alternator is not getting to your battery. Check the wiring (both positive and negative) and look for loose or corroded connections.
