BACKGROUND:

The systemd related tests[1] were proposed in April 2014 by Martin Preisler and Tomas Heinrich of Red Hat to allow 
for a replacement to the init system configuration assessments on newer Linux distributions. Content authors 
should expect to use these as a replacement for the runlevel_test where applicable. These two tests have been 
implemented within OpenSCAP as proof of technical feasibility, and are accompanied by several examples of sample 
content.
