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.

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.

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.
