 The "make test" target is to run tests. You can't add another target with that name. If you want an executable named "test" then use another target and set its OUTPUT_NAME property:

 add_executable(mytest test.cpp)
 set_property(TARGET mytest PROPERTY OUTPUT_NAME test)

 Yeah I know.

But should not I get an error message when I try to create the target 'test' ?

(something like:

-- add_executable called with a reserved target name "test"
   If you want an executable named "test" then use another target and set its OUTPUT_NAME property:
   
   add_executable(mytest test.cpp)
   set_property(TARGET mytest PROPERTY OUTPUT_NAME test)

) ?
