All of the DETs for each of these files are maintained using the same screen in the application. What is the functional size of the transactional function after the enhancement?

Definitely not just 3, that’s too low!

Wait, are we sure those DETs are all counted?

I think it should be 6 after the enhancement.

Yeah, adding 3 attributes means more complexity!

Each file had 2 RETs and 19 DETs, right?

I feel like the enhancement might not change the count if they’re just additional attributes. Maybe it’s not counted at all?

If each file had 2 RETs and 19 DETs, does adding 3 attributes mean we just add those to the existing counts? I'm confused about how that works.

I remember a similar question where we had to add attributes to files, and it was tricky figuring out how they impacted the overall size.

I think we need to calculate the functional size based on the RETs and DETs, but I'm not entirely sure how the new attributes affect the total.

Wait, I'm not sure that's right. Wouldn't we need to consider the complexity of the new transactional function as well? With 19 DETs, it seems like it might be more than just a simple 3 points.

I think I've got this. Since the enhancement added 3 business functional attributes to each of the 3 files, that's a total of 9 new attributes. And since they're all maintained on the same screen, that's just 1 new transactional function. So the answer should be 3, right?

You know, you're probably right. I'm going to re-read the question carefully and try to figure out the best approach to calculating the functional size here.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. The question is asking about the functional size of the transactional function after an enhancement, so I'll need to consider the changes to the files and screens.

I'm just imagining the developer who has to maintain this application after the enhancement. They're probably sitting at their desk, staring at the screen, and muttering, 'Why, oh why, did I choose this career path?'

I bet the people who wrote this question were having a field day coming up with ways to confuse us. 'Oh, let's add some extra DETs, but make them all use the same screen. That'll really throw them off!'

D) Not counted? Really? That's like saying, 'Hey, we made your job a whole lot harder, but we're not going to count that.' Nah, I'm going with C) 6. It's the only answer that makes sense to me.

Hold on, I'm still trying to wrap my head around this. So, we have 3 files, each with 2 RETs and 19 DETs, and now we're adding 3 more DETs to each file. Hmm, let me think this through...

I agree with Hoa, because each file had 3 business functional attributes added.

I think the answer is C) 6. The application enhancement adds 3 business functional attributes to each of 3 files, so that's a total of 3 × 3 = 9 additional DETs. Since all the DETs are maintained using the same screen, it's a single transactional function, so the functional size is 6 (3 RETs + 9 DETs).
