Summary
The documentation is heavily PowerShell-centric, requiring PowerShell on all platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS) to use the ARM template test toolkit. Windows installation instructions are presented before Linux and macOS. All usage examples, including those for pipelines, are written in PowerShell, with no alternatives for native Linux shells or other scripting environments. There is no mention of Linux-native tools or patterns, nor are there any Bash or shell script examples for running tests outside of PowerShell.
Recommendations
- Provide Bash or shell script examples for Linux users who do not use PowerShell.
- Clarify if the toolkit can be run via other scripting environments (e.g., Python, Bash) or provide wrappers if possible.
- Consider presenting Linux instructions before or alongside Windows instructions to avoid implicit prioritization.
- Mention any Linux-native alternatives or integration patterns, such as using the toolkit in a Docker container or with common Linux CI/CD tools.
- If PowerShell is a strict requirement, explicitly state this limitation and suggest ways to streamline PowerShell installation for Linux users.
