web based application: Application will be loaded in the
server.Client machine use the application using URL.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.
Window based application: runs on personal computers and
work stations, so when you test the desktop application you
are focusing on a specific environment.

Answer / rocksin
a web based application is installed on server and can be
accessed from different clients.where as a desktop
application is installed on every individual system where
it has to be used. A desktop application service is not
available 24*7 hrs example in bank staff people have
separate n/w only in this n/w they can access their
applications but outside office they cannot.Where as web
application is available from any place 24*7hrs
ex:atm,accessing websites.

Answer / lakshmi
Windows Forms
User Interfaces, data binding etc. : Easy to build
Deployment and Maintenance: Complex. New versions of
assemblies, configuration files, and other required files
must be deployed on all client machines. Usually user
interaction required
Performance: Faster
Robustness and Reliability : One client machine goes down,
other users are still live.
Network Congestion : Depending on the data transfer and
connections made to the server from various clients.
Resources : Runs on the client machine.
Catastrophic failure : User interaction required.
Framework dependency : All client machines have to install
required versions of .NET framework and other required
libraries.
ASP.NET Web Application
User Interfaces, data binding etc.; Difficult to build
Deployment and Maintenance: Easy. Need to deploy
assemblies and configuration files on the server only.
Transparent to the client.
Performance: Slower
Robustness and Reliability : Usually web servers are never
down. However if the server goes down, all users are
affected.
Network Congestion: Depending on the data transfer and
connections made to the server from various clients.
Resources : Runs on a Web server.
Catastrophic failure : Usually user interaction not
required.
Framework dependency : Only server needs to have .NET
framework and other required libraries.

Answer / bhanu pratap
Web Application: In software engineering, a Web application
or webapp is an application that is accessed via Web browser
over a network such as the Internet or an intranet. It is
also a computer software application that is coded in a
browser-supported language (such as HTML, ASP, PHP, Perl,
Python etc.) and reliant on a common web browser to render
the application executable.
Windows Application: A program that is written to run under
Microsoft's Windows operating system. Such applications
typically run under all 32-bit versions of Windows, but
earlier applications might also run under the 16-bit
versions (Windows 3.x) as well.
