Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by requiring Visual Studio 2022 (a Windows-centric IDE) as a prerequisite, providing detailed deployment instructions only for Visual Studio (with no mention of VS Code, CLI, or cross-platform alternatives), and referencing 'Azure Function App (Windows)' before 'Azure Function App (Linux)' in deployment steps. There are no explicit Linux or macOS-specific instructions or troubleshooting tips, and no mention of common Linux tools or workflows. The only command-line examples use Azure CLI, which is cross-platform, but all local development and deployment guidance is centered on Windows tools.
Recommendations:
  • Add instructions for using Visual Studio Code and the Azure Functions Core Tools for local development and deployment, which are cross-platform.
  • Include explicit steps for Linux and macOS users, such as installing prerequisites, setting environment variables, and deploying via CLI.
  • Provide alternative deployment methods (e.g., Azure CLI, GitHub Actions, or VS Code) alongside Visual Studio instructions.
  • When listing deployment targets, mention 'Azure Function App (Linux)' before or alongside 'Windows' to avoid Windows-first ordering.
  • Add troubleshooting notes or tips for common Linux/macOS issues (e.g., file permissions, path differences).
  • Clarify that Visual Studio is not required and that the sample project can be built and deployed using .NET CLI and other cross-platform tools.
