   A test process improvement team is comparing the scope of TPI Next and TMMi. They notice that TMMi includes process areas such as 'Test Policy and Strategy' and 'Test Planning', while TPI Next includes key areas such as 'Test Strategy' and 'Test Organization'. What is the most accurate interpretation of this difference?

   • ATPI Next is a subset of TMMi, so all TPI Next key areas are included in TMMi process areas.
   • BTMMi focuses only on test management, while TPI Next focuses only on test execution.
   • CTMMi's process areas are broader and organized by maturity level, while TPI Next's key areas are more granular and can be improved independently.
   • DTMMi and TPI Next cover exactly the same topics, just with different names.
