In this post I am gonna give answer to reader’s question.
There was one question asked by Srividya:
Q.What is difference between client server and Web Testing?
Vijay:
Well Srividya I would like to add one more testing type i.e Desktop
Testing in this discussion. So now we have three testing types Desktop application testing, Client server application testing and Web application testing.
Each
one differs in the environment in which they are tested and you will
lose control over the environment in which application you are testing,
while you move from desktop to web applications.
Desktop application
runs on personal computers and work stations, so when you test the
desktop application you are focusing on a specific environment. You will
test complete application broadly in categories like GUI,
functionality, Load, and backend i.e DB.
In client server application
you have two different components to test. Application is loaded on
server machine while the application exe on every client machine. You
will test broadly in categories like, GUI on both sides, functionality,
Load, client-server interaction, backend. This environment is mostly
used in Intranet networks. You are aware of number of clients and
servers and their locations in the test scenario.
Web application
is a bit different and complex to test as tester don’t have that much
control over the application. Application is loaded on the server whose
location may or may not be known and no exe is installed on the client
machine, you have to test it on different web browsers. Web applications
are supposed to be tested on different browsers and OS platforms so
broadly Web application is tested mainly for browser compatibility and
operating system compatibility, error handling, static pages, backend
testing and load testing.
I think this will have an idea of all
three testing environment. Keep in mind that even the difference exist
in these three environment, the basic quality assurance and testing principles remains same and applies to all.
