Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented towards Windows and Visual Studio users. All instructions and UI references are for Visual Studio, a Windows-first IDE, with no mention of cross-platform alternatives (such as VS Code or CLI). The use of Solution Explorer, Publish dialogs, and NuGet Package Manager Console (which is PowerShell-based) are all Windows-centric. There are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions or CLI-based alternatives provided, despite Azure Storage Explorer being cross-platform.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent instructions for developing and running Azure Functions using cross-platform tools such as Visual Studio Code and the Azure Functions Core Tools CLI.
  • Include examples of how to install dependencies and manage app settings using command-line tools (e.g., dotnet CLI, func CLI) that work on Linux and macOS.
  • Reference cross-platform editors and workflows alongside Visual Studio, or link to relevant guides for non-Windows users.
  • Avoid assuming the use of Solution Explorer, Publish dialogs, or NuGet Package Manager Console; instead, offer alternative steps for users on other platforms.
  • Clearly indicate which steps are Windows-specific and provide parity for Linux/macOS users wherever possible.
