This extension package to TDL introduces additional features for the specification of extended test configurations by

reusing existing test configurations. Existing test configurations can be instantiated within an extended test

configuration. By means of test configuration operations, the test configuration instances can be modified within an

extended test configuration, without affecting the original test configuration specification that is instantiated.
