By default the attribute 'processContents' for <any> is 'strict' which means
there must be a top-level declaration for the item available:
processContents = (lax | skip | strict) : strict
So if the element <test> is not declared anywhere, then the parser will
issue an error saying 'not found'. If you don't want the parser to locate
the declaration, please set processContents to lax or skip.
Besides you need to set mixed='true' in order to allow character content
model in <AnyNamespaceTest>.
So to validate your sample xml, the schems should look like:
<element name="AnyNamespaceTest">
<complexType mixed='true'>
<sequence>
<any processContents='lax'/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
</schema>
