Summary
The documentation demonstrates a bias toward Windows environments, particularly in the NUnit test runner sections. Examples and instructions for installing packages use PowerShell and .NET CLI commands, which are primarily associated with Windows. There is no mention of Linux-specific equivalents, such as Mono or .NET on Linux, nor are there bash or shell examples for Linux users. The authentication instructions focus on Azure CLI, which is cross-platform, but the overall pattern and tooling (e.g., .runsettings, .cs files, PowerShell) are Windows-centric. The Playwright test runner section is more neutral, using npm and shell commands, but the NUnit section lacks Linux parity.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux instructions for .NET/NUnit users, including bash commands and notes on .NET Core/SDK usage on Linux.
  • Mention that .NET CLI and NUnit can be used cross-platform, and provide examples for installing packages on Linux/macOS.
  • Include sample .runsettings and .cs file creation instructions using Linux tools (e.g., touch, nano, vim).
  • Clarify that PowerShell commands are for Windows, and offer bash equivalents for Linux/macOS users.
  • Add troubleshooting notes for common Linux-specific issues (e.g., file permissions, environment variable setup).
  • Ensure parity in artifact collection instructions for Linux users, referencing relevant documentation for Linux environments.
