We want to test four things: - that the transient units are successfully started when drop-ins exist - that the transient setings override the defaults - the drop-ins override the transient settings (the same as for a normal unit) - that things are the same before and after a reload To make things more fun, we start and stop units in two different ways: via systemctl and via a direct busctl invocation. This gives us a bit more coverage of different code paths.
