Hai friendz I am a rajendra

Client-server it is network architecture
Client-server is a two tier architecture as it name 
indicates 
Client and server are two important important components in 
client server architecture.

Client is nothing but an application program running in a 
Computer which can access data or files from server.

Client application program sends requests to the server.

Client application program provides a front-end to access
Data from server.

Server processes the client requests and send information 
to the client.

TCP/IP or HTTP protocol is used for communication between 
client and server.

In a Nutshell client is a system which has a tool i.e. 
application program to access data from server.

Server processes client requests and sends requested 
information to client     

but i want say one thing without diagramatic explanation
it is easy expaln clent-server architecture.

Finally

        applications architectures are three types
           1.Two tier architechture(clent server )
           2.Three tier architechture.
           3.N-Tier architechture
nat test engineer should have a fair knowledge about above 
architechtures bcoz any applications/products will fall 
any one of the above stated architechture.
