Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation provides only a Windows/Powershell example (nslookup with C:\> prompt) for testing DNS resolution, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. The command-line example and screenshot style are Windows-centric, and there is no guidance for users on Linux or macOS systems.
Recommendations:
  • Include equivalent Linux/macOS command-line examples for DNS resolution, such as using nslookup or dig from a bash shell (e.g., $ nslookup 10.1.2.5 or $ dig -x 10.1.2.5).
  • Present both Windows and Linux/macOS examples side-by-side or indicate that the instructions apply to multiple platforms.
  • Use neutral language when referring to command-line operations (e.g., 'Open a terminal or command prompt') rather than assuming a Windows environment.
  • Add screenshots or output samples from Linux/macOS terminals where appropriate to ensure parity.
  • Explicitly mention that the Azure portal steps are platform-agnostic, but that command-line verification can be performed from any OS.
