Summary
The documentation page exhibits several signs of Windows bias. PowerShell is used as the default scripting language in CI pipeline examples (e.g., AzureCLI@2 with scriptType: 'pscore', PowerShell@2 tasks), and authentication setup instructions reference Azure PowerShell before alternatives like Azure CLI. The use of 'AzPowershell' and PowerShell-based tasks is prevalent in both GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines examples. There are no explicit Linux shell/bash script examples, and Windows-centric tools/patterns are mentioned or implied before their Linux equivalents. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux-native workflows or shell scripting, which may hinder adoption by Linux-focused teams.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent bash/shell script examples alongside PowerShell examples, especially for CI/CD pipeline steps.
  • Reference Azure CLI commands before or alongside Azure PowerShell, and clarify when either can be used.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility and provide instructions for both Windows and Linux runners.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific terminology (e.g., AzPowershell) as the default; use more generic or platform-neutral language.
  • Add examples for Linux/Mac environments, such as bash scripts for authentication and test execution.
  • Clarify that Playwright and its Azure integrations work on Linux runners and provide troubleshooting tips for non-Windows environments.
