Not sure what you are referring to, as the main rival to Big Bang Cosmology (BBC)-- the idea that our Universe has always existed in (about) its present state -- existed as far back as ancient Greek philosophers, and was held all cosmologists well into the 1900s. Jesuit priest Georges LeMaitre first proposed an expanding universe as a physical reality (as opposed to a mathematical idea) with observational consequences in 1931, but the acceptance of a universe with a starting point was resisted until the cosmic microwave background radiation was discovered in 1964.

Inflationary cosmology -- a subset of BBC -- was developed by Alan Guth in 1980 to explain some observations that BBC, on its own, could not easily deal with.

What type of theory is not yet proven?

A theory that is not yet proven is often referred to as a hypothesis or a conjecture. These are proposed explanations or predictions that have not undergone rigorous testing or validation through empirical evidence. For example, the theory of dark matter in cosmology remains a compelling hypothesis, as it seeks to explain certain astronomical observations but has yet to be definitively confirmed through direct detection.

What is the difference between a hypothesis a theory and a conclusion drawn from hypothesis testing?

A hypothesis is a suggestion of a way to explain something. If the hypothesis is tested and confirmed, it can advance to the status of theory. The conclusion of testing a hypothesis will be either that the hypothesis is confirmed, or it is not confirmed.
