Only if you want Tomcat to expand a WAR file in the appBase. There are
several ways you can avoid that:
- expand the WAR manually before Tomcat starts
- only place the expanded directory in the appBase
- set unpackWARs="false" on the host

Personally, I'd go with the second option.

And for that to work I would have to grant write access on the webapps
folder for tomcat user?

You need to set deployOnStartup="true" for that to work.

Have you carefully checked your permissions on the context xml, and the 
actual directory where the application is deployed? I mean really carefully?

Reading the doc, which for the docBase attribute states:
"The value of this field must not be set unless the Context element is
defined in server.xml or the docBase is not located under the Host's
appBase."

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/context.html

I suspect that if you examined the logs you would find an error message
related to deployment of the test webapp.

If all you have in the  element is the docBase and your webapp is
located in the 's appBase directory, you don't need a 
element at all.

The test.xml is



Its a set up where the tomcat user has no write access to /webapps only

Maybe also : if it is really like above, then your test.xml is invalid XML.
The  tag is not closed.

That doesn't help when both deployOnStartup and autoDeploy are set to false.

And then  set docbase path in /conf/Catalina/localhost/test.xml
to 
and then stop start tomcat.

I already tried an empty Context tag and no Context tag, makes no
difference. Catalina.out has not error. I tried setting logging level FINE
to see if there were anything related to how it scans
conf/Catalina/localhost/ but nothing.

Sorry, since you have both deployOnStartup and autoDeploy set to false, you 
will need the  element inside server.xml - that's the only way to get 
a webapp going when you have disabled all the other mechanisms.

Reading the doc, which for the docBase attribute states:
"The value of this field must not be set unless the Context element is defined 
in server.xml or the docBase is not located under the Host's appBase."

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/context.html
