Hypothesis testing involves using sample data to make a decision about a population parameter, which can include accepting or rejecting a specific specification of the parameter. Confidence analysis and standard error analysis are related to statistical inference but do not specifically involve making a decision about a population parameter. Specification support/rejection and theory testing are not common terms in statistics.
