There are multiple ways to do it, e.g. with a CSS selector:

// starts-with
element(by.css("div[id^=test]"));

// ends-with
element(by.css("div[id$=test]"));

// contains
element(by.css("div[id*=test]"));

Or, with an XPath (no ends-with here):

// starts-with
element(by.xpath("//div[starts-with(@id, 'test')]"));

// contains
element(by.xpath("//div[contains(@id, 'test')]"));
