Imho, the first step should be to clear the computer of all old codes. To achieve this, remove the GROUND cable from the battery, count thirty seconds, replace it for ten, the remove for another thirty. This will cause a "hard reset" condition, and all codes will be reset.
Next start the engine, allow it to idle untill the miss starts then drive for a minute or two. This will give the computer a chance to diagnose and collect error codes. Now have the codes pulled, and your issue should be shown.
Unless the codes are cleared after all repairs, some will hold ALL error codes indefinitely, making it hard to diagnose new issues.
Also, a loose connection at the alternator could cause a myriad of different issues. Not criticizing your work, just sayin. Check inside all female connectors at the alternator to insure good clean connection. Just because the battery is charging, doesn't always mean there is not a problem with an alternator.
Good luck, diagnosing a miss in an electronically controlled engine can be hell at times.
