Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by instructing users to open Windows PowerShell on the test VM and providing only PowerShell-based instructions for DNS testing. There is no mention of Linux alternatives or examples, and the test VM is implicitly assumed to be running Windows. No Linux command-line examples (such as using 'dig' or 'nslookup' on Linux) are provided, nor is there guidance for Linux-based test VMs.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions for both Windows and Linux test VMs, specifying how to open a terminal or shell on each platform.
  • Provide equivalent Linux commands for DNS resolution testing (e.g., 'nslookup' and 'dig' on Linux).
  • Explicitly state that the test VM can be either Windows or Linux, and provide steps for both.
  • Avoid assuming the use of Windows tools (like PowerShell or Microsoft Edge) exclusively; mention alternatives such as Bash shell and Firefox/Chromium for Linux.
  • Where possible, present Linux examples before or alongside Windows examples to ensure parity.
