Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
โš ๏ธ windows_first
โš ๏ธ powershell_heavy
โš ๏ธ windows_tools
โš ๏ธ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-centric bias. Visual Studio for Windows is presented as the primary development environment, with detailed steps and UI navigation. PowerShell and Windows-specific tools (e.g., sqlcmd in PowerShell, Visual Studio) are used for critical steps like granting database permissions, with no equivalent Linux or cross-platform alternatives shown. Linux or macOS development environments are only briefly mentioned (Azure CLI tab), and there are no examples for connecting to SQL Database or running sqlcmd from Linux/macOS terminals. The documentation assumes a Windows workflow for key operations, leaving Linux users to infer or adapt steps.
Recommendations:
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS examples for all command-line operations, especially for connecting to Azure SQL Database (e.g., using sqlcmd or Azure Data CLI from Bash).
  • Include instructions for using cross-platform editors (e.g., Visual Studio Code) for all steps, not just authentication.
  • When presenting multiple environments, avoid putting Windows/PowerShell first or giving them more detailโ€”present all supported platforms equally.
  • Add a section or tab for Linux/macOS users in the 'Set up your development environment' and 'Grant permissions' steps, with commands and tools native to those platforms.
  • Mention and demonstrate the use of Azure Data CLI (azdata) or sqlcmd for Linux/macOS, and provide installation instructions if needed.
  • Ensure all screenshots and UI navigation steps are either cross-platform or have equivalents for non-Windows environments.
