Welcome to the Q&A Forum

What I would probably do is build the whole thing out on the test.example.com and move the website from there to example.com.

I haven't heard back and would really like to figure this out. According to Google webmaster tools, the pages are indexed and crawled and I know they come up in the search results. The main menu is linked to the landing pages. Any reason why you think this may not be showing up in the analytics report? I need to figure out if I need to do something or is it just an error from the analytic tool?
