Morphology

triable = trial (transparent) = trial + able

The sense 'able to be tested' is a direct extension of 'trial' (a test) + '-able', so the derivation is straightforward.

Etymology

A helpful way to remember triable for tests and experiments is to link it to try and trial, both meaning 'to test' or 'a test'. So if something is triable it is 'able to be tried' in a study or pilot project.
