The symbol `org-test-file' is indeed not evaluated because the entire
template list is quoted. You can use backquotes (Elisp manual, 13.5)
to tell Emacs to evaluate parts of the lisp:
,----
| (setq org-capture-templates
| `(("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline ,org-test-file "Tasks")
| "* TODO %?\n %i\n %a")
| ("b" "Buy" item (file+olp ,org-test-file "Stuff to Buy" "House")
| "")))
`----
The lisp starts with the backtick (`) and all expressions that are
prefix by comma (,) are evaluated.
