Youre doing it the wrong way.

new Vue({
    el: "#app",
    data: {  
        testFunction : function(element) {
            $(element).doSomethingWithIt(); //do something with the calling element
        }
    }
});

data is the state or storage of data for your app.

you need to create methods object for your methods

new Vue({
    el: "#app",
    data: {  

    },
    methods: {

    testFunction : function(element) {
            $(element).doSomethingWithIt(); //do something with the calling element
        }
    }

});
