Just do not call it "test.m", use "test1.m" at least .....

octave:1> help test
`test' is a function from the file /usr/share/octave/3.6.2/m/testfun/test.m

 -- Command:  test NAME
 -- Command:  test NAME quiet|normal|verbose
 -- Function File:  test ('NAME', 'quiet|normal|verbose', FID)
 -- Function File:  test ([], 'explain', FID)
 -- Function File: SUCCESS = test (...)
 -- Function File: [N, MAX] = test (...)
 -- Function File: [CODE, IDX] = test ('NAME', 'grabdemo')
     Perform tests from the first file in the loadpath matching NAME.
     `test' can be called as a command or as a function.  Called with a
     single argument NAME, the tests are run interactively and stop
     after the first error is encountered.
