Le Pulitzer c'est pas pour cette fois ...
Mais il est évident qu'ils veulent les résultats de tests réalisés si possible auparavant et aussi si possible réalisés ailleurs.

but one understands what they are getting at. So we agree that they won't get a Pulitzer?

I think you've slightly missed the point of what I thought was odd: it is the collocation of 'obtain' with 'testing' (= an action) — normally, we might speak of 'obtaining test results', yes; but 'obtaining testing' rings decidely odd to my ENS ears.

j'avais aussi pensé à faire effectuer pour le premier cas mais je pense que qui le fait passe au second plan, l'essentiel étant qu'ils soient effectués

We say to obtain a sample of this or that. It did not strike me as strange when I read it.

Tasering citizens to forcibly obtain DNA sample fine, so long as it's not malicious

Am I the only one to find the expression 'obtain VF testing' slightly odd? I wonder if this is a slightly mis-edited text...? I almost wonder if this isn't non-native EN, or an already-translated text.

Whatever, I think the idea of specifically choosing the word 'obtain' here in this first occurrence indicates that the person to whom these instructions are being given may not necessarily be the person actually carrying out the VF testing; hence it might be necessary to use some expression like 'faire effectuer' etc.

In your second occurrence, however, it is the examinations (and thereby their results, one assumes) that are being obtained; a different formulation will undoubtedly be required in FR.
