Desktop Application: runs on personal computers and work stations. so
when you test the desktop application you are focused on a specific environment.
You will test complete application broadly in categories like GUI,
functionality, backend i.e. data base..

Client Server Application : you have two different component to test.
Application is loaded on server machine while application exe on every client
machine. You will test broadly in categories like GUI on both side,
functionality, load, clients server interaction, backend. This environment is
mostly used in intranet network. In client server application you are aware of
number of client and server and their location in test scenario.

Web Application: web application is a bit different and complex to
test as tester don?t have much control over application. Application is loaded
on the server whose location may or may not be known to the tester and no exe.
is installed on the client machine. you have to test it on different web
browsers .Web application is supposed to test on different browser and operating
systems, platforms. so broadly web application is tested mainly for browser
compatibility, OS, compatibility error handling, static pages, backend testing
and load testing.
