Eş anlamlılar
reference (More common in everyday use for job applications; “testimonial” sounds more formal and often refers to a written document.)

Something that is clear proof that a quality or result is real.

Eş anlamlılar
testament (Very close in meaning; "testament" is slightly more common in this abstract, formal sense.)
Zıt anlamlılar
