Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation references both Azure CLI and PowerShell for configuring retry policies and batching, but it consistently lists PowerShell alongside CLI, and refers to 'PowerShell command' without clarifying cross-platform support. The only explicit command-line example provided is for Azure CLI, which is cross-platform, but references to PowerShell are present without corresponding Linux shell (bash) or scripting examples. There are no explicit Linux- or macOS-specific instructions, nor are there any bash or shell script examples. The documentation does not mention platform-specific differences, but the pattern of referencing PowerShell and CLI together, and the absence of Linux-specific examples or notes, suggests a subtle Windows-first bias.
Recommendations:
  • When referencing PowerShell, clarify that Azure PowerShell is cross-platform, or provide equivalent bash/shell examples where appropriate.
  • Include explicit bash or shell script examples for common Linux/macOS usage scenarios, especially where PowerShell is mentioned.
  • When linking to further documentation (e.g., 'Set retry policy'), ensure that both PowerShell and bash/CLI examples are present and equally prominent.
  • Avoid phrasing such as 'CLI and PowerShell' as the only options; mention bash/shell scripting or note that Azure CLI works on all platforms.
  • Add a note or section on platform compatibility for all command-line tools referenced, making it clear that Linux/macOS users are equally supported.
