In this blog post, we are going to discuss the parameter-based differences between the three types of software testing namely desktop, client-Server and Web Application Testing. But before getting into the difference between them, we will briefly know about what desktop, client server and web application testing is that are conducted on a piece of software before it gets released in the market to proceed this discussion further.
Following are the parameters which can be used to differentiate between desktop, client server & web application testing:
1. Test Requirements – Desktop application testing requires the use of at least one computer system or workstation, whereas in the case of client server application testing, it requires the use of at least one server for loading the application and one client machine or system and for web application testing, it requires the use of a web browser and internet connectivity on personal computers or laptops.
2. Test Execution – Desktop application testing can be carried out on a single computer or workstation, but client server application testing should be done on a 2-tier application and web application testing should be done on a 3-tier application.
3. Test Environments – The environment for stand-alone or desktop application testing is a user computer because these tests are platform-dependent; in contrast, the environments for client server application testing and web-based application testing are often the intranet and web browsers, respectively.
4. Test Parameters – When testing desktop or standalone applications, test engineers examine the factors such as performance, GUI, and memory leaks in the backend database. In contrast, when testing client server applications, they examine the factors such as functionality, performance, and GUI. Finally, when testing web applications, they examine the factors such as browser and OS compatibility, GUI testing, broken link testing, load, and stability.
Hence, from the above discussion, we can conclude to say that all these types of application testing are entirely different from each other and have various benefits and drawbacks as well. Nearly every test engineer works with applications such as Desktop/Stand-alone application, Client Server application, and Web Application. So, it is the responsibility of each and every test engineer to perform the above discussed testing types according to his/her needs.
