You're using jQuery so use the "attribute contains selector" (https://api.jquery.com/attribute-contains-selector/) and retrieve the href values using "attr" (http://api.jquery.com/attr/).

var matchingElements = $("a[href*='/test/']")

...and the following code will return an array of their href attributes.

var hrefs = matchingElements.map(function(index, element) {
    return $(element).attr('href');
});
