I am going to work on a project that involves Paypal function. My question what kind of account do I need to do the test? Do I need merchant account?
And if you also have a good reference site please share it here.
Thanks

You will need both. The merchant/seller account is needed as the payment receiver. Buyer account is needed to do payment to seller.
PayPal have a complete documentation, see it all here. Important documentation to help you start quickly:

What you need depends on how you're integrating, but in general it's useful to have both a buyer and merchant account. Signing up for both is very easy on developer.paypal.com so it shouldn't be a problem setting up as many buyer/seller sandbox accounts as you need.
