'der Sieger' and 'der Testsieger' both refer to someone or something that was better than the others in a comparison. 'der Sieger' is more general: it can be a person, a team, or a group after a game, fight, competition, or election. 'der Testsieger' is especially appropriate when products, services, or even people have been compared in a test and one of them achieved the best result. Learners may confuse the words because both have to do with winning. But when it is about a product test, product comparison, or evaluation according to fixed criteria, 'Testsieger' is more precise.
