BTW, I also have some comments, see below,

You can just change "cd $TRACING_DIR;" with "cd $TRACING_DIR/$INSTANCE_DIR;"
Then, the default value of INSTANCE_DIR can be "".

No, don't parse argument in the function. You can just define
MAKEINSTANCE=1 global variable before calling this.

Anyway, if we use a "tag" in the script header, we can get it
in this testcase() and update TEST_TAGS global variable there.

and check whether "instance" tag in $TEST_TAGS here.

Here also we can just check the "$INSTANCE_DIR" is not empty.
