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.

A Client Server Application is generally a 2-tier application where as a Web based application is a multitired (i.e 3-tier or more).In a general Web based application there is multiple clients through browsers, one database server, one web server which hosts the web application.

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.

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

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.

Client Server testing is a three tier architecture and when testing has to be done on this we need to consider all types of testing like the stress testing , data - volume testing, load testing and performance testing. When u are doing a normal web testing then you will be testing navigation testing, frame testing, broken links or missing URL's and static text testing. In a web based application browser is a thin client,and as a tester we have to test the browser too.Here we have to test the links,url navigation,usabilty etc.For a web based applicatio we have unlimited users.So performance also we have to considerClient/server applications can be quite complex due to the multiple dependencies among clients, data communications, hardware, and servers. Thus testing requirements can be extensive. In case of limited time, the focus should be on integration and system testing. Additionally, load/stress/performance testing may be useful in determining client/server application limitations and capabilities. Web Testing: Web sites are essentially client/server applications - with web servers and 'browser' clients. You will have to consider a lot of issues such as interactions within html pages, TCP/IP communications, firewalls, applications running in web pages and applications running on the server side, browser versions, variety of browsers, connection speeds etc. Additionally, u need to check for Load, Performance and security testing, internal and external link functions, web server response time, database query response time. A lot more can be added under web testing.
