Client Server testing is a three tier architecture and when testing has to be done on this we need to consider all types of testing like the stress testing , data - volume testing, load testing and performance testing.

When u are doing a normal web testing then you will be testing navigation testing, frame testing, broken links or missing URL's and static text testing.

In a web based application browser is a thin client,and as  a tester we have to test the browser too.Here we have to test the links,url navigation,usabilty etc.For a web based applicatio we have unlimited users.So performance also we have to consider.

Hi,

 There is lot of difference between Client/Server testing Web testing.

Client/Server is  an architecture on which application is build.

Web application is a type of application like windows application or desktop application.

Web application can also be client server application.

Again Client Server is of many types like

two tier architecture(Client & Server), three tier architecture (Client- Master- Database) or multi-tier architecture where the client is thin and whole business logic lies in the Master or middle tier.

Client Server: Where as in 2-tier application is an application
program that is organized into 2 major parts each of which is distributed to a
different place or places in a network. The 2 parts are:

-> The workstation or presentation interface with The business logic

-> The database and programming related to managing it
