Default Alternator bench test

Hi I'm new !! Lol
It's my sisters car im working on.
Long story short. THe oil filter housing was leaking into alternator and fried it.
My sister ordered a new alternator online it came in I had her take to advance to test it they said it failed , she took it somewhere else and they said certain cars alts can't be bench tested. Is that true ? I never heard of that

Had my sister send back the alternator. New one came in. Said failed again.
What are your thoughts

The alternator is controlled by the CEM. So no, it cannot be bench tested.
