Bias Analysis

windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in the 'Run a sample application' section, where instructions for building and running the Azure IoT C SDK are provided only for Windows (using Visual Studio, Windows command prompt, and .exe executables). There are no equivalent Linux or macOS build/run instructions, and Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., Visual Studio, .exe output) are mentioned exclusively or before any cross-platform alternatives.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel instructions for building and running the C SDK sample on Linux and macOS, including required dependencies (e.g., gcc/clang, make, cmake) and example shell commands.
- Mention and demonstrate use of cross-platform editors and tools (e.g., VS Code, nano, vim) alongside Windows-specific ones.
- Show Linux/macOS terminal commands (e.g., bash shell, ./iothub_ll_telemetry_sample) in addition to Windows command prompt examples.
- Clarify that the SDK and distributed tracing features are cross-platform, and link directly to Linux/macOS-specific build guides where appropriate.
- Avoid assuming Visual Studio or Windows as the default development environment; present all supported platforms equally.
