Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first

Summary
The documentation demonstrates mild Windows bias by listing Windows tools (Invoke-WebRequest via PowerShell) before Linux equivalents (Wget), and referencing Windows file paths before Linux paths in the hosts file modification section. The only command-line example given for HTTP header retrieval is 'wget' (Linux) or 'Invoke-WebRequest' (Windows PowerShell), but no Linux shell or cross-platform examples are shown for other steps. The instructions for editing the hosts file mention Windows first, then Linux, and provide explicit Windows paths. No Linux shell or cross-platform automation examples are provided for Azure resource creation or DNS testing, and Azure CLI or Bash examples are absent.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows tools in parallel, or list Linux tools first to balance representation.
  • Provide Azure CLI and Bash examples for resource creation and DNS testing, alongside PowerShell and portal instructions.
  • Include Linux shell commands (e.g., curl, dig, nslookup) in all relevant steps, not just Windows equivalents.
  • Reference Linux file paths before or alongside Windows paths when discussing hosts file modifications.
  • Add explicit Linux examples for HTTP header retrieval (e.g., 'curl -I'), and for modifying the hosts file (e.g., using 'sudo nano /etc/hosts').
  • Where possible, use cross-platform tools and commands, or note platform-specific differences clearly.
