hypotheses or more generally conjectures should be capable of being refuted see: Karl Popper - Conjectures and Refutations
It is necessary for a hypothesis to have two things, the words IF and THEN. Another word can be added, BECAUSE. A successful hypothesis has to have all three.
A prediction that has to be testable is one that can be proven true or false through empirical observation or experimentation. It should be specific, measurable, and capable of being verified or refuted using evidence or data.
Scientific Method
The most important feature of a scientific hypothesis is that it is testable. Another feature that is related is the attribute of being 'falsifiable', or otherwise capable of being proven incorrect. For instance, it's almost impossible to disprove 'there's intelligent life on other planets', and as such that would not work as a hypothesis.
