Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
missing_linux_example
windows_tools
Summary
The documentation shows some Windows bias by listing Windows tools (Fiddler) before Linux alternatives (tcpdump), providing more detailed logging instructions for Windows-specific platforms (e.g., Windows Phone 8, .NET client for Windows desktop), and referencing Windows configuration files (web.config) without Linux equivalents. There are no explicit Linux command-line examples or parity in logging/tracing instructions for Linux environments.
Recommendations
  • Present cross-platform tools (e.g., tcpdump, Wireshark) before or alongside Windows tools like Fiddler, and clarify their OS compatibility.
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS examples for collecting network traces and enabling server/client logs, including relevant configuration file locations and commands.
  • Include instructions for enabling logging/tracing in Linux-hosted environments (e.g., systemd, Linux file paths, environment variables).
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific platforms (e.g., Windows Phone 8) without mentioning Linux/mobile alternatives or clarifying their scope.
  • Where web.config is referenced for .NET/ASP.NET, provide guidance for equivalent settings in Linux deployments (e.g., appsettings.json, environment variables).
