If you pass your object to the template you can use the "length" filter:

{{ test|length }}

I would only do this if {{ test }} contains objects that you actually want to process/display elsewhere in the template. If you only need the count, I would recommend sticking with the .count() query and passing it through the context since that is faster and more efficient to process, especially for items like votes or likes, where the numbers may reach into the thousands or more.
