difference between client server application testing & web application testing

Client- server applications: Application is loaded at the server. In every client machine, an exe is loaded to call this application.

Web Based application : Application is loaded at the server.but,No exe is installed at the client machine. We have to call the application through browser.

Client server Technology:
1. Number of clients is predicted or known
2. Client and server are the entities to be tested
3. Both server and client locations are fixed and known to the user
4. Server to server interaction is prohibited
5. Low multimedia type of data transaction
6. Designed and implemented on intranet environment

Web based Technology
1. Number of clients is difficult to predict (millions of clients)
2. Client, Server and network are the entities to be tested
3. Server location is certain, client locations are not certain
4. Server to server interaction is normal
5. Rich multimedia type of data transaction
6. Designed and implemented on internet environment
