report здесь -- глагол.

т.е. "другие [подразделения]-- тестируют.... и докладывают..."

there is a mistake - should be either THE OTHERS TEST or THE OTHER TESTS

Not really. It is a standart usage when inanimate objects are talked about. Cf.: one branch does this, other [branches] do that...

strictly speaking, an am rule is missing after "other", but modern English punctuation is somewhat lax, so it's not an uncommon oversight.
