They are the same. Sometimes it may (!) be better to use one or the other for readability of your code.

No difference in meaning, they both access length property.

Their only difference is syntactic.

test.length is just a convenience syntax introduced in Objective C 2.0. The two expressions you list are totally equivalent and a matter of preference more than anything else.
