That is not surprising - the name of the MIB is
TEST-ENTERPRISE-MIB    not TEST-MIB

Please see the FAQ question
    How do I add a MIB to the tools?

Also correct.
This is a scalar object, so needs the scalar instance subidentifier.


These two mistakes illustrate perfectly why I suggested that you
start with the basics of *using* SNMP, before moving on to
advanced topics like writing your own code.
   If you don't properly understand how SNMP works (and I would
agree there are some subtle unexpected features),  then it makes
the task of writing your own MIBs doubly hard.
