Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
missing_linux_example
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in the 'Run a sample application' section, where instructions and commands are provided specifically for Windows environments (Visual Studio, .cmd commands, .exe output), with only a brief mention that other environments are possible and a link to external documentation for Linux or cross-platform builds. There are no explicit Linux or macOS build/run instructions, and Windows tools (Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code) are referenced first and in detail.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit Linux and macOS instructions for building and running the C SDK sample, including required dependencies (e.g., gcc/clang, make, cmake) and terminal commands.
- Provide example shell commands (bash) for cloning, building, and running the sample on Linux/macOS, alongside the Windows .cmd examples.
- Mention cross-platform editors (such as VS Code, which is already referenced) and provide parity in instructions for both Windows and Linux/macOS users.
- Where Windows-specific tools (Visual Studio, .exe) are mentioned, add equivalent alternatives for Linux/macOS (e.g., gcc, ./iothub_ll_telemetry_sample).
- Consider reordering or parallelizing instructions so that Windows and Linux/macOS steps are presented together, rather than Windows-first.
