Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a significant Windows bias. All VM creation steps use Windows Server images by default, and there are no instructions or examples for deploying or configuring Linux VMs. The IIS installation and configuration are provided exclusively with Windows PowerShell commands, and the test instructions assume the use of Internet Explorer. No Linux alternatives (such as Apache/Nginx installation, Bash commands, or Linux VM images) are mentioned or offered.
Recommendations:
  • Provide parallel instructions for creating Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu or CentOS) alongside Windows VMs.
  • Include Linux-specific steps for installing a web server (such as Apache or Nginx) using Bash commands.
  • Offer both PowerShell (Windows) and Bash (Linux) command examples for server configuration.
  • When referencing tools (e.g., Internet Explorer), mention Linux equivalents (e.g., Firefox, curl, wget).
  • Explicitly state that the process works for both Windows and Linux VMs, and link to relevant Linux documentation.
  • Consider alternating the order of Windows and Linux examples, or presenting them side-by-side for parity.
