There are some templating plugins that make this easier, but if it's
a one-off, you could do something like

:nnoremap Q o{<cr><tab>.testtype = <c-r>0;<bslash><cr>.testtypestring = "<c-r>0";<bslash><c-d>}<esc>

Adjust for your padding-spaces before the <bslash> if you want, but
it would depend on the length of your pasted content. You could use
the expression register instead, something like

<c-r>=@0.repeat(' ', 50-strlen(@0))<cr>

and

<c-r>=@0.'"'.repeat(' ', 50-strlen(@0))<cr>
