RE: what is the difference between web based applicati...

Web based application testing is testing an application when launched in the Internet. Testing the functionality on the Internet only as a client.

Client - Server testing is testing the server side functionality.

For example, An application form is launched in the Internet. Now testing the functionality like sending the data to the server, cosmetics testing of the page is the web based testing.

Now the data after reaching the server it has to perform the specified funcationality based on the data. Testing those server based technology is the client-server testing.

web based application is used by all the Internet Users.

Client server application is used by the both client and customer sever. The customer and client have right to Acess it.

It is a Side level Server Application.

RE: what is the difference between web based applicati...

Client is a program that generates requests and server processes those requests in a meaningful way for the client.  Web based application can also be called type of client-server application because it involves generating and processing requests.  But client-server application is a broader term than webbased, for example, in an office the use of a centralized printer or any other shared resource is client-server, but not web based. 

Usually, client server architecture is two-tier, whereas web based architecture is multi-tier involving atleast a database server, an application server and a frontend server.

For web based testing internet connection is a must, but for client-server applications, it is not needed in all the cases.  In some situations the same machine can act as both client and server and in some other cases, intranet connection does the job.

I hope this was of some help to you.

Thanks

RE: what is the difference between web based applicati...

A Web Based application is built on the 'Client/Server' technology. The difference is that, the communication is via the internet.

A typical Client/Server application can have 'internet' connection or 'intranet' connection to communicate with both the entities.

Please correct me, if I am wrong.
