Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ visual_studio_only
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by requiring Visual Studio for publishing the Azure Functions app and running the sample project, without mentioning or providing alternatives for Linux users (such as VS Code or Azure Functions Core Tools). The instructions for running the sample data generator and publishing the function are tightly coupled to Windows/Visual Studio workflows. While the Azure CLI is used for infrastructure deployment (which is cross-platform), the development and deployment steps for the function app and data generator are Windows-centric, with no Linux or cross-platform guidance.
Recommendations:
  • Provide instructions for publishing the Azure Functions app using cross-platform tools such as Azure Functions Core Tools and VS Code, including command-line examples.
  • Offer guidance for running the WindTurbineDataGenerator sample on Linux, including .NET CLI commands (e.g., 'dotnet run') and any prerequisites for Linux environments.
  • Explicitly mention that Visual Studio is not required and that Linux/macOS users can use alternative editors and tools.
  • Include screenshots or terminal output examples from Linux environments where applicable.
  • Ensure that all steps (especially code publishing and sample execution) have Linux/macOS equivalents or alternatives documented alongside Windows instructions.
