/**
* Whether or not bean definition profiles from superclasses should be

The default value is {@code true}, which means that a test
* class will inherit bean definition profiles defined by a
* test superclass. Specifically, the bean definition profiles for a test
* class will be appended to the list of bean definition profiles
* defined by a test superclass. Thus, subclasses have the option of
* extending the list of bean definition profiles.
*
If {@code inheritProfiles} is set to {@code false}, the bean
* definition profiles for the test class will shadow and
* effectively replace any bean definition profiles defined by a superclass.
*
In the following example, the {@code ApplicationContext} for
* {@code BaseTest} will be loaded using only the "base"
* bean definition profile; beans defined in the "extended" profile
* will therefore not be loaded. In contrast, the {@code ApplicationContext}
* for {@code ExtendedTest} will be loaded using the "base"
* and "extended" bean definition profiles.
*
* @ActiveProfiles("base")
* @ContextConfiguration
* public class BaseTest {
* // ...
* }
*
* @ActiveProfiles("extended")
* @ContextConfiguration
* public class ExtendedTest extends BaseTest {
* // ...
* }
*
* Note: {@code @ActiveProfiles} can be used when loading an
* {@code ApplicationContext} from path-based resource locations or
* annotated classes.
* @see ContextConfiguration#locations
* @see ContextConfiguration#classes
