Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation generally presents both Windows and Linux options for the 'os' setting and provides examples for both. However, in the TypeScript example for the Playwright test runner, the 'os' option is set to 'ServiceOS.WINDOWS' in the code sample, even though the default is 'ServiceOS.LINUX'. This subtle ordering and example choice may suggest a preference for Windows. No exclusive use of Windows tools, PowerShell, or missing Linux examples were found.
Recommendations
  • In code examples, use the default value ('ServiceOS.LINUX') for the 'os' setting or provide parallel examples for both Windows and Linux.
  • When listing options, consider listing Linux first if it is the default, or explicitly state that both are equally supported.
  • Ensure that any example or sample configuration does not implicitly prioritize Windows unless there is a technical reason to do so.
  • If possible, add a note clarifying that both Windows and Linux are fully supported and that the choice in the example is arbitrary.
