It might be worth creating an object to hold all your "tests":

var tests = {};

$(document).ready(function () {
    tests.test1 = $("#test1ID").jQueryPlugin();
    tests.test2 = $("#test2ID").jQueryPlugin();
});

for(i=0; i < theArrayOfStrings.length; i++){
    tests[theArrayOfStrings[i]].foo();
}
