Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
windows_tools
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows command-line instructions (setx, PowerShell) are presented before Linux/macOS equivalents, and Windows-specific tools and patterns (setx, PowerShell) are mentioned explicitly. The Linux/macOS example for setting environment variables is given last and lacks detail compared to the Windows instructions. The build/run/test steps use generic commands but are shown in Windows command prompt syntax. There is no explicit Linux shell or terminal example, and no mention of Linux-specific considerations.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/macOS and Windows instructions side-by-side or in parallel, rather than listing Windows first.
  • Use generic shell syntax (e.g., $ export VAR=...) for environment variables, and provide both Windows and Linux/macOS examples with equal prominence.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific tools (e.g., setx) without offering Linux/macOS equivalents (e.g., export, or instructions for persistent environment variables).
  • Clarify that build/run commands (mvn) are cross-platform, and show examples in both Windows CMD/PowerShell and Linux/macOS terminal.
  • Add notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, including troubleshooting or environment setup tips specific to those platforms.
