We have three testing types Desktop application testing,
Client server application testing and Web application testing.
Desktop application runs on personal computers and work
stations with single user and single memory (Front end and
Back end in one place)

You will test complete application broadly in categories
like GUI, functionality, Load, and back-end 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. This
environment is mostly used in Intranet networks (usually
developed for LAN). You are aware of number of clients and
servers and their locations in the test scenario.
This type of testing usually done for 2 tier applications.
Here we will be having front-end and back-end.
The tests performed on these types of applications would be
- User interface testing
- Manual support testing
- Functionality testing
- Compatibility testing & configuration testing
- Intersystem testing
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, back-end
testing and load testing.
A web-application is a three-tier application.
The tests performed on these types of applications would be
- User interface testing
- Functionality testing
- Security testing
- Browser compatibility testing
- Load / stress testing
- Interoperability testing/inter-system testing
- Storage and data volume testing

Well if i am correct, here the interviewer asking the difference between Stand alone app , Web based app and Client/server app

Testing

1) Desktop- It means testing the app or product alone without any aid of server or client software.
Here, you yourself install the software into your system and go on testing, majority of the times the stand alone testing done often for S/w products (Autocad , oracle , java) i.e product based companies rather than service providers.

2) Web-based app: It requires a software that is installed in server, and that s/w is tested by using web-browser, ie we are accessing the software to be tested by web-browser.

3) Client-server- Is bit same as Web based app, but here we have two softwares one is client s/w (installed in client machine) and another is server s/w (installed in server) and through client s/w we are testing only client s/w. it means that, if the client s/w is working then server s/w is also working
