“Web automation training” and pseudo code – The missing piece of the puzzle

From an automation training session I was conducting last week..

In most automation trainings the course content starts directly from installing the software

While setting up selenium surely is a basic step, but a very important prior step is usually missing

I call this the algorithm design process, where the trainees learn about how to think about algorithms

The human mind works very differently than a machine,

A to-be programmer should train to think in terms of programming blocks

This is where pseudo code comes in.
