Element identifier generation

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium including instructions for element identifier generation which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• detect an action associated with a structured document,
• identify an element of the structured document associated with the action,
• create a modified copy of the identified element,
• generate a unique identifier associated with the modified copy of the identified element,
• measure a metric associated with the action;
• and
• create a log record comprising the unique identifier and the measured metric associated with the action.

A computer-implemented method for element identifier generation comprising:

• overriding, by an action engine, an action handler associated with a plurality of elements of a structured document of an application;
• receiving, by the action engine, an action associated with an element of the plurality of elements via the action handler;
• identifying, by an element engine, a targeted element for the received action;
• creating, by the element engine, a copy of a data structure of the targeted element;
• modifying, by the element engine, a plurality of attributes of the copied data structure according to a modification rule;
• generating, by the element engine, a name for the targeted element;
• generating, by the element engine, a unique identifier for the targeted element according to a hash code of the modified plurality of attributes of the copied data structure;
• measuring, by the action engine, an amount of time required to complete the received action on the targeted element;
• creating, by a log engine, a log record comprising the generated name, the unique identifier, and the measured amount of time required to complete the received action on the targeted element.
