One where the validity of the hypothesis can be determined by some test or experiment.
A hypotheses becomes testable by actually doing the experiment and seeing what you find.
formulating testable hypotheses before conducting research as ?
Scientists form hypotheses to propose a possible explanation or answer to a specific question or problem they are investigating. These hypotheses are testable and help guide the research process to determine if the proposed explanation is correct or needs to be revised.
How else would you determine the validity of the hypothesis.
True
Yes. Scientific theories, hypotheses or more generally conjectures must be testable capable of being proved false.

the hindsight bias
Research questions are broad inquiries that guide a study, while hypotheses are specific statements that predict the relationship between variables in a study. Research questions explore a topic, while hypotheses propose a testable explanation for a phenomenon.
John Earl Johnson has written: 'A method of determining estimable functions and testable hypotheses in experimental design'
Using scientific methods requires making careful observations, developing a model to explain the observations and then put forward testable hypotheses about what might happen in some given circumstances. Most other methods develop a model based on belief and do not propose testable hypotheses.
hypotheses or more generally conjectures should be capable of being refuted see: Karl Popper - Conjectures and Refutations
