Vim Substitute: How to replace multiple occurrences with additional parts in string

Question

I have a string like this:

"test", "test2", "test3"

I want to replace test* with some value. that means it would look like this after substitution:

"abc", "abc", "abc"

This what I tried so far:

:s/test\(\d\)/abc/g => didn't work as expected. :s/test\p/abc/g => deletes quotes in first occurrence. :s/test\d/abc/g => first occurrence remains unchanged.

Could you please me help with the right syntax.

substitute 'test' followed by zero or more digits:

:s/test\d*/abc/g
