A TPS report is a document used in software engineering, in particular by a Software Quality Assurance group or individual, that describes the testing procedures and the testing process.
The official definition and creation is provided by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) as follows:
IEEE 829 - Test Procedure Specification
The Test Procedures are developed from both the Test Design and the Test Case Specification. The document describes how the tester will physically run the test, the physical set-up required, and the procedure steps that need to be followed. The standard defines ten procedure steps that may be applied when running a test.'
TPS can also stand for Test Program Set. This is the term used by the United States military and its industrial contractors for hardware and software automatic testing systems.

If you're referring to the T.P.S. report from the movie "Office Space", then T.P.S. has no specific definition. It was used to parody the fact that most offices have some internal procedure that bears no significance to the world, but yet is treated around the office with dire importance. That such a petty thing could cause a man such trouble seems completely absurd, which makes for good comedy.

Test Procedure Specification - often used document in software engineering. You probably heard it in the movie Office Space.
