Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: Windows command prompt and PowerShell instructions are presented before Linux/macOS equivalents, and Visual Studio tooling (Windows-centric) is assumed for local testing. The instructions for setting environment variables start with Windows methods and provide more detail (e.g., setx and PowerShell) than for Linux/macOS. The local testing workflow is described in terms of Visual Studio and its prompts, which are primarily relevant to Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/macOS instructions before or alongside Windows instructions, rather than after.
  • Include equivalent Linux/macOS tooling instructions for local testing, such as using VS Code, Azure Functions Core Tools CLI, or other cross-platform editors.
  • Add explicit instructions for running and debugging Azure Functions locally on Linux/macOS, including terminal commands and screenshots.
  • Ensure parity in detail and troubleshooting steps for Linux/macOS users, such as environment variable persistence and shell differences.
  • Avoid assuming Visual Studio as the default development environment; mention alternatives like VS Code or JetBrains Rider.
