Testament does NOT mean covenantÂ… and NEVER has.
 
 
According to the Oxford English Dictionary the meaning of  "testament" is from the Greek.  Long before the word passed into English it was associated with covenants and dispensations.  The meaning of "witness" is must later.
 

 4. Scripture. A covenant between God and man: = covenant n. 7.
