You could have purchased a defective alternator or battery. You could also have oxidation between the cables and terminals. I assume the regulator is part of the alternator.

Did you run the test will all of the accesories off? If not see if that makes a difference.
After the system failed, I took both the battery and the alternator off of the vehicle and Autozone test them. Both of them tested good. And it is my understanding that the regulator is built on to the alternator.
