My battery light is staying on when on stand still, it only goes off when im moving. Ive had a test on the battery and the alternator and they are both fine?

If the alternator out put is correct and the charge light is on, there may be a faulty diode on the rectifier, this will back feed current and still give a charge rate, I would get the alternator bench tested by an auto electrician to test for this fault.
