Is this something one should not do? As I am unable to get it to work.
In my controller I have
$scope.test = "someValue"
and in my view
<input ng-model="test" />
What I am expecting to occur
<input ng-model="someValue" />
However, ng-model stays as being set to "test".
How do I resolve this?

That's not the way ng-model works. If you have a scope variable, as in your case test and value of this variable will reflect in the value property of your input. This means that someValue will be visible in the input. In other words: ng-model is a directive that binds to, e.g. an input,select, textarea (or custom form control) to a property on the scope using the NgModelController.
NgModelController provides API for the ngModel directive. The controller contains services for data-binding, validation, CSS updates, and value formatting and parsing
Here is an example:
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('TestController', TestController);
function TestController() {
var vm = this;
vm.myModel = "This is the model value";
vm.selectedOption = undefined;
vm.options = [{
id: '1',
name: 'Option A'
}, {
id: '2',
name: 'Option B'
}, {
id: '3',
name: 'Option C'
}];
};<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.5/angular.min.js"></script>
<body ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="TestController as vm">
<input type="text" ng-model="vm.myModel" />
<select name="mySelect" id="mySelect" ng-model="vm.selectedOption">
<option ng-repeat="option in vm.options" value="{{option.id}}">{{ option.name }}</option>
</select>
<pre ng-if="vm.selectedOption">Selected Option: {{ vm.selectedOption }}</pre>
</body>The example above also shows some best practices, means using controllerAs syntax for your view and a clear declaration of your controller signature.
