    You need to define the route’s prefix and controller properties.

    src/plugins/test/server/routes/index.js

    export default {
  routes: [
    {
      method: 'GET',
      path: '/',
      handler: 'myController.index',
      config: {
        policies: [],
        auth: false,
      },
    },
  ],
  prefix: '/test',
  controller: 'my-controller',
};

    Make sure to restart your Strapi server after making these changes

    I think you may need to update the routes file. You have set the route path to '/', which means that you can access this endpoint through http://localhost:1337/, not through http://localhost:1337/test. It may work if you just change the path in the routes file as the following.

    export default [
   {
      method: 'GET',
      path: '/test',
      handler: 'myController.index',
      config: {
         policies: [],
         auth:false
      },
   },
];

    You are missing a part.
    Strapi is not that smart to find your routes.js file.

    What you have to do is to create a file in your plugin directory, like so:
    plugins/my-plugin/strapi-server.js

    inside if it, you should export a function as default and return the configurations of the plugin:

    strapi-server.js
    module.exports = () => {
    return {
        controllers: [
            ...
        ],
        routes: [
            {
              method: 'GET',
              path: '/',
              handler: 'myController.index',
              config: {
                  policies: [],
                  auth:false
              },  
            }
        ]
    }
}
