a testimonial from [someone] for [someone]

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

Learners sometimes use "testimonial" here when "testimony" is more natural in legal or religious contexts. In general writing, "a testimonial to" and "a testament to" are both common for the idea of clear evidence.
近义词
testament (Very close in meaning; "testament" is slightly more common in this abstract, formal sense.)
反义词
refutation (Evidence or argument that proves a claim or quality is not true, the opposite of supporting evidence.)
