Dear Pratik,
Testimony in law is evidence given by a witness, esp orally in court under oath or affirmation.
So, testimony can be in either form, oral or written, but under oath.
As per the definition provided in Merriam Webster's Dictionary of Law, testimony is:
"evidence furnished by a witness under oath or affirmation and either orally or an affidavit or deposition."
Hope you query would have been satisfied.
