Client   Server Testing


Web Based Testing

This involves testing of the client installation, connectivity between the Client and the Server, configuration required to connect to the server apart from the regular GUI, functional testing.
You will be having specific client version for specific OS.

Here client is your browser, you can skip the installation testing, checking the connectivity between browser and your server etc but you have a addition of testing different types of browsers and on different platforms.

Client Server Application are those that runs on LAN, WAN but is not connected to www or internet

The web based Applications  are those that are connected with www, internet. Ex: Yahoo and Google etc

It Uses Connection Oriented (TCP/IP) Protocol

It Uses HTTP Protocol

Ex:
Your going to your bank and asking a/c balance to customer server. He/she use banking system application to check you're a/c balance ? that is C/S application.

Also you can go to net cafe and check you a/c balance that is Web application. You can imagine the facilities. What all the customer service executive can do in his/her system and what all you can do from you net cafe

C-S testing needs a network

The Web test can be performed on a stand alone machine.
