I do not understand why and how the cricket matches are named Test cricket.
Actually what is the meaning of Test?
Kindly clarify

Test cricket is the longest form of the sport of cricket. It has long been considered the ultimate test of playing ability between cricketing nations. It remains the highest-regarded form of the game, although the comparatively new One-day International cricket is now more popular amongst some audiences. The name "Test" is thought to arise from the idea that the matches are a "test of strength" between the sides involved. It seems to have been used first to describe an English team that toured Australia in 1861-62, although these matches are not considered Test matches today

Not all matches are called Test Matches the one which last 5 days with both team taking 2 turns to play is called Test Match
Game (cricket game ) which is of 50overs and lasts 1 day is One-Day Cricket
