Probably, you need to prepend /home/test in all directives.
Also probably, you do not need regexes at all:

     location = /favicon.ico {
         root  /home/test/frontend/template/default/img;
     }

     location  /img/ {
         root  /home/test/frontend/template/default;
     }
 
     location  /js/ {
         root  /home/test/frontend/template/default;
     }
 
     location  /b_js/ {
         alias /home/test/bframe/frontend/cache/js_cache/;
     }
 
     location  /css/ {
         root  /home/test/frontend/template/default;
     }
 
     location  /html/ {
         root  /home/test/frontend/;
     }
