Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by listing Windows as the only supported development environment in the prerequisites, providing download links specifically for Windows versions of tools (e.g., Azure CLI, Docker CE), and referencing Visual Studio Code as the primary editor without mentioning Linux alternatives or instructions. There are no Linux-specific setup steps or examples, despite the initial note recommending Linux VMs for IoT Edge deployment. The instructions and screenshots assume a Windows client, and there is no guidance for users developing from a Linux or macOS environment.
Recommendations
  • Add a parallel set of prerequisites and instructions for Linux (and optionally macOS) users, including installation commands for Azure CLI, Docker, and VS Code on those platforms.
  • Provide download links for cross-platform versions of required tools (e.g., Azure CLI for Linux, Docker for Linux).
  • Include terminal commands and screenshots from Linux environments where applicable.
  • Explicitly state that the development steps can be performed on Linux and provide any necessary adjustments (e.g., file paths, environment variable syntax).
  • If certain steps are Windows-only, clearly indicate this and provide Linux alternatives or workarounds.
