Explanation

Specifying expected outcomes before test execution is fundamental to effective testing because it enables objective pass/fail determination and prevents rationalization after seeing actual results. Without predefined expectations, testers cannot confidently judge whether a test passed or failed, making the test ineffective regardless of how easy or fast it is to run.
