Put a voltage meter on the battery and see if it's holding its charge with the engine running under a load, like with the lights and AC on. If not it's likely something wrong with the alternator. It's indicated by a steady lowering of voltage output.
Those test systems at auto parts stores won't always pick up on a faulty regulator. I took my bad alternator there and it passed the test. Yours could be a bad regulator but you don't really know and won't unless you replace it and reinstall the entire unit to see if it works. Kind of a PITA.
