testify on sy's behalf
This is, how I have heard/read to use it most often in everyday US English, although "bear witness on sy's behalf" is also correct, maybe somewhat more solemn.
Example sentence:
Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's attorney said his client told him actress Kate del Castillo had not received any money from him and that he would be willing to testify on her behalf.
