What is client-server and web based testing and how to test these applications

What is client-server and web based testing and how to test these applications?
HI this is the one of the impotant question it is asked in the interview
i find in the link below and i am posting this for educational purpose. please visit the site below for more.
http://www.softwaretestinghelp.com/what-is-client-server-and-web-based-testing-and-how-to-test-these-applications/

answer:-
What is the difference between client-server testing and web based testing and what are things that we need to test in such applications?
Ans: Projects are broadly divided into two types of:
2 tier applications
3 tier applications
CLIENT / SERVER TESTINGThis type of testing usually done for 2 tier applications (usually developed for LAN)Here we will be having front-end and backend.
The application launched on front-end will be having forms and reports which will be monitoring and manipulating data
E.g: applications developed in VB, VC++, Core Java, C, C++, D2K, PowerBuilder etc.,The backend for these applications would be MS Access, SQL Server, Oracle, Sybase, Mysql, Quadbase
The tests performed on these types of applications would be- User interface testing- Manual support testing- Functionality testing- Compatibility testing & configuration testing- Intersystem testing
WEB TESTINGThis is done for 3 tier applications (developed for Internet / intranet / xtranet)Here we will be having Browser, web server and DB server.
The applications accessible in browser would be developed in HTML, DHTML, XML, JavaScript etc. (We can monitor through these applications)
Applications for the web server would be developed in Java, ASP, JSP, VBScript, JavaScript, Perl, Cold Fusion, PHP etc. (All the manipulations are done on the web server with the help of these programs developed)
The DBserver would be having oracle, sql server, sybase, mysql etc. (All data is stored in the database available on the DB server)
The tests performed on these types of applications would be- User interface testing- Functionality testing- Security testing- Browser compatibility testing- Load / stress testing- Interoperability testing/intersystem testing- Storage and data volume testing
A web-application is a three-tier application.This has a browser (monitors data) [monitoring is done using html, dhtml, xml, javascript]-> webserver (manipulates data) [manipulations are done using programming languages or scripts like adv java, asp, jsp, vbscript, javascript, perl, coldfusion, php] -> database server (stores data) [data storage and retrieval is done using databases like oracle, sql server, sybase, mysql].
The types of tests, which can be applied on this type of applications, are:1. User interface testing for validation & user friendliness2. Functionality testing to validate behaviors, i/p, error handling, o/p, manipulations, services levels, order of functionality, links, content of web page & backend coverage’s3. Security testing4. Browser compatibility5. Load / stress testing6. Interoperability testing7. Storage & data volume testing
A client-server application is a two tier application.This has forms & reporting at front-end (monitoring & manipulations are done) [using vb, vc++, core java, c, c++, d2k, power builder etc.,] -> database server at the backend [data storage & retrieval) [using ms access, sql server, oracle, sybase, mysql, quadbase etc.,]
The tests performed on these applications would be1. User interface testing2. Manual support testing3. Functionality testing4. Compatibility testing5. Intersystem testingSome more points to clear the difference between client server, web and desktop applications:
Desktop application:1. Application runs in single memory (Front end and Back end in one place)2. Single user only
Client/Server application:1. Application runs in two or more machines2. Application is a menu-driven3. Connected mode (connection exists always until logout)4. Limited number of users5. Less number of network issues when compared to web app.
Web application:1. Application runs in two or more machines2. URL-driven3. Disconnected mode (state less)4. Unlimited number of users5. Many issues like hardware compatibility, browser compatibility, version compatibility, security issues, performance issues etc.
As per difference in both the applications come where, how to access the resources. In client server once connection is made it will be in state on connected, whereas in case of web testing http protocol is stateless, then there comes logic of cookies, which is not in client server.
For client server application users are well known, whereas for web application any user can login and access the content, he/she will use it as per his intentions.
So, there are always issues of security and compatibility for web application.
Over to you: On which application are you working? Desktop, client-server or web application? What is your experience while testing these applications?
