what is the difference between web based application and client server application as a testers point of view?

Answer
Client server application: In this type of architecture,
the entier application has to be installed on client
machine, and whenever you do any changes in your code,
again it has to be installed on all the client machines.

Web based application:Core application resides on the
server and client can be thin client( browser).whatever
changes you do, you have to install the application in
server, NO need to worry about the clients,bcoz u will not
install anything on client machine


1)Client server applcation directly we can launch
where as for launching the web based applcations we need
start database server,web server and by using internet
explorer (URL) we can launch web based application

2)Client server applications are menu driven where as web
based applications are liks driven to get the next page.

3)Client server application will contain less content, and
with less images
when compared to web based applications
web applications will contain more content with more images

Difference between Sessions and Cookies

The main difference between cookies and sessions is that cookies are stored in the user's browser, and sessions are not. This difference determines what each is best used for.
A cookie can keep information in the user's browser until deleted. If a person has a login and password, this can be set as a cookie in their browser so they do not have to re-login to your website every time they visit. You can store almost anything in a browser cookie. The trouble is that a user can block cookies or delete them at any time. If, for example, your website's shopping cart utilized cookies, and a person had their browser set to block them, then they could not shop at your website.
Sessions are not reliant on the user allowing a cookie. They work instead like a token allowing access and passing information while the user has their browser open. The problem with sessions is that when you close your browser you also lose the session. So, if you had a site requiring a login, this couldn't be saved as a session like it could as a cookie, and the user would be forced to re-login every time they visit
