testifiers
Those giving evidence
Testifiers are people who give testimony—those who bear witness or make formal statements about what they know.
The word appears most often in legal and religious contexts: The testifiers at the hearing gave conflicting accounts.
Someone who testifies to their faith or experience is a testifier.
