In later versions of angular, I'm using 1.2.0rc1 you also need to call this within a $apply or call $digest on a scope. The resource call isn't made unless you do something like this:

var o, back, scope;

beforeEach(inject(function( $httpBackend, TestAPI,$rootScope) {
    o = TestAPI;
    back = $httpBackend;
    scope = $rootScope.$new();

}));

it('should call the test api service', function() {
    back.whenGET('/api/test').respond({});
    back.expectGET('/api/test');
    scope.$apply( o.test());
    back.flush();
});
