Summary
The documentation exhibits a moderate Windows bias. It consistently references Windows-centric tools (Visual Studio Code, PowerShell, dotnet CLI) and patterns, often without explicitly mentioning Linux alternatives or providing parity in Linux-specific instructions. Examples and screenshots focus on Visual Studio Code (popular on Windows but cross-platform), and the .NET/NUnit runner instructions use PowerShell and dotnet commands, which are more common in Windows environments. There is a lack of explicit Linux shell examples (e.g., bash, zsh), and no mention of Linux package managers or environment setup steps. The Azure CLI instructions are cross-platform, but the overall flow and examples assume familiarity with Windows tooling.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux shell (bash/zsh) command examples alongside PowerShell/dotnet commands, especially in the NUnit runner sections.
  • Clarify that Visual Studio Code and Azure CLI are cross-platform, and provide installation links or instructions for Linux users.
  • Include Linux-specific setup notes, such as environment variable configuration in bash/zsh, and mention common Linux package managers (apt, yum) for installing prerequisites.
  • Where screenshots show Windows UI, add equivalent Linux/macOS screenshots or annotate that the UI is similar across platforms.
  • Review terminology to avoid Windows-centric language (e.g., 'terminal window' instead of 'Command Prompt'), and ensure parity in troubleshooting steps for Linux environments.
