        'application' => [
            'type'    => Segment::class,
            'options' => [
                'route'    => '/application[/:action]',
                'defaults' => [
                    'controller' => Controller\IndexController::class,
                    'action'     => 'index',

I change it to :

'router' => [
    'routes' => [
        'home' => [
            'type' => Literal::class,
            'options' => [
                'route'    => '/test',
                'defaults' => [
                    'controller' => Controller\IndexController::class,
                    'action'     => 'index',
                ],
            ],
        ],
        'application' => [
            'type'    => Segment::class,
            'options' => [
                'route'    => '/testapplication[/:action]',
                'defaults' => [
                    'controller' => Controller\IndexController::class,
                    'action'     => 'index',
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ],
],

when i visit /test and /testapplication/index , i got 404 page not found error, it seems zf3 can't route to this path

If you installed the skeleton app and run it without touching anything, then the problem is the cache.

If you look in the application config file (config/application.config.php), you will find these lines:

return [
    'module_listener_options' => [
        // Line 33
        'config_cache_enabled' => true
    ]
];

This will create a cache file under the cache directory (by default, data/cache, as defined in application.config.php at line 47).

For development purposes, I suggest you to disable the cache. The best way to do that is to remove the .dist from the config/development.config.php.dist configuration file.
