If ping works then everything is fine in /etc/hosts.  You haven't told us 
what program you're using to resolve the 'test' hostname.  If you're 
using something like dig or nslookup, then this is expected behavior; 
those programs are *supposed* to query the name server and do not read 
/etc/hosts.
