   A test process improvement consultant is explaining the difference between TPI Next and TMMi to a client. The client asks: 'If we achieve the highest level in TMMi, does that mean we have also satisfied the highest level in TPI Next?' What is the most accurate answer?

   • ANo, because the models use different key areas and checkpoints, and achieving the highest level in one does not guarantee the highest level in the other.
   • BYes, because both models are based on the same underlying principles of test process improvement.
   • CNo, because TMMi has five levels while TPI Next has four, so the highest levels are not equivalent.
   • DYes, because both models define the same set of best practices for testing.
