Generating identifiers for user interface elements of a web page of a web application

A method comprising:

• analyzing, using a walkthrough authoring tool, a first source code for a first web page of a first web application implemented using a database system, the first web page comprising a plurality of user interface elements capable of being displayed at a user interface of a display device, the first source code stored in a database of the database system;
• identifying, using the first source code, a first one of the user interface elements of the first web page as not having a static identifier or as having a dynamically generated identifier;
• generating a unique identifier associated with the first user interface element;
• generating second source code for the first web page, the second source code comprising the unique identifier associated with the first user interface element;
• processing, using the walkthrough authoring tool, a first selection of the first user interface element;
• responsive at least in part to processing the first selection, generating a first stage of a walkthrough, the first stage configurable to cause display of a second stage of the walkthrough based on a user selection of the first user interface element;
• processing a request to interact with a presentation of the walkthrough;
• providing, using the second source code, the first stage of the walkthrough at the user interface of the display device;
• and
• providing, responsive to a user selecting the first user interface element, the second stage of the walkthrough.

A computer program product comprising computer-readable program code to be executed by at least one processor when retrieved from a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the program code comprising instructions configurable to cause:

• analyzing, using a walkthrough authoring tool, a first source code for a first web page of a first web application implemented using a database system, the first web page comprising a plurality of user interface elements capable of being displayed at a user interface of a display device, the first source code stored in a database of the database system;
• identifying, using the first source code, a first one of the user interface elements of the first web page as not having a static identifier or as having a dynamically generated identifier;
• generating a unique identifier associated with the first user interface element;
• generating second source code for the first web page, the second source code comprising the unique identifier associated with the first user interface element;
• processing, using the walkthrough authoring tool, a first selection of the first user interface element;
• responsive at least in part to processing the first selection, generating a first stage of a walkthrough, the first stage configurable to cause display of a second stage of the walkthrough based on a user selection of the first user interface element;
• processing a request to interact with a presentation of the walkthrough;
• displaying, using the second source code, the first stage of the walkthrough at the user interface of the display device;
• and
• displaying, responsive to a user selecting the first user interface element, the second stage of the walkthrough.
