I am in a trouble when I have to ask a question with negative verbs like:
- Cannot we do the test?
- Will not we do the test ?
Are the sentences above correct?

No, the sentences are not corrects. There are a lot of mistakes, but the specific question you're asking about is answered here. – John Lawler Jul 26 '15 at 14:54

In the full form, put the negative just before the verb.
"Can we not do the test?"
"Will we not do the test?"
In the shortened form you can do:
"Can't we do the test?"
"Won't we do the test?"
