Desktop application:runs on personal computers and work stations.so when u test the desktop application you are focused on a specific envoirment .you will test complete application broadly in categories like GUI,functionality,backend  i.e.data base..

client server application : you have two different  component to test.Application is loaded on server machine while application exe on every client machine.you will test broadly in categories like GUI on  both side,functionality,load ,cliesnt server interaction,bachend. This envoirment is mostly used in interanet network.In client server application you are aware of number of  client and server and their location in test scenario .

web application: web application is a bit different and complex to test as tester don’t have much control over application.Application is loaded on the server whose location may or may not bo known to tester and no exe. is installed on the client machine.you have to test it on different web browsers .Web application is supposed to test on different browser and operating  systems,platforms.so broadly web application is tested mainly for browser compatibility,OS,compatibility error handling,static pages ,backend testing and load testing.
