A quick definition of affirmative testimony:

Affirmative testimony is when a person tells what they saw or heard in court or in writing. It is evidence that can help prove something is true. Sometimes, more than one person will say the same thing to make it even stronger. False testimony is when someone says something that is not true. People who are not experts can also give their opinions in court, but it has to be based on what they saw or heard. Sometimes, pictures or drawings can also be used as evidence. Testimony de bene esse is when someone's testimony is taken because they might not be able to give it later. Written testimony is when someone writes down what they saw or heard instead of saying it out loud.

A more thorough explanation:

Affirmative testimony is evidence given by a competent witness under oath or affirmation at trial or in a written statement. It is also known as personal evidence. This type of testimony is based on what the witness saw or heard at the time and place in question, and it affirms whether something occurred or did not occur.

For example, if a witness testifies that they saw the defendant at the scene of the crime, this is affirmative testimony. Another example is if a witness testifies that they did not see the defendant at the scene of the crime, this is also affirmative testimony.

Affirmative testimony is important in determining the facts of a case and can be used to support or refute other evidence presented in court.
