Standalone Applications and Web.
1. Are both using the same technology?

Nope.. stand alone normally used without network connection while Web with network and internet connection

2.What are the differences?

Standalone application runs on personal computers and work stations, so when we test the desktop application we are 
focusing on a specific environment. We 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, we 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.

3. When is the appropriate time to develop standalone applications or web-based application?

Normally standalone application was developed for individual purpose adn the installation only through single computer at one time. While web application normally used by multiple user to share the information and can be access by many user at one time..
