what is difference between desktop and web application?
Answer Posted / reema s. bhalla
Desktop application runs on personal computers and work
stations, so when you test the desktop application you are
focusing on a specific environment. You will test complete
application broadly in categories like GUI, functionality,
Load, and backend i.e. DB.
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, backend
testing and load testing.
