I am trying to help with PHP. But this experience makes me feel like it is not worth it.
Can anyone give me some clarification.
Is there a common agreement on what constitutes a bug?
I have worked as Sr. SQA engineer for many years and have always worked under the understanding that crashes are unacceptible - no matter what caused them: code should be able to handle bad data and not crash.
