Two tier architecture is client server and three tier architecture is web based application.
Two Tier Architecture: It is nothing but client server Architecture, where client will hit request directly to server and client will get response directly from server.

Three tier Architecture: It is nothing but Web Based application, here in between client and server middle ware will be there, if client hits a request it will go to the middle ware and middle ware will send to server and vise-versa.

Client server application is 2 tier application and web application is n tier application.
Client server is the single user application and the web application is the multi User application.
Client server Technology:
1. Number of clients is predicted or known
2. Client and server are the entities to be tested
3. Both server and client locations are fixed and known to the user
4. Server to server interaction is prohibited
5. Low multimedia type of data transaction
6. Designed and implemented on intranet environment
7.Application is loaded at the server. In every client machine an exe is loaded to call this application.

Web based Technology
1. Number of clients is difficult to predict (millions of clients)
2. Client Server and network are the entities to be tested
3. Server location is certain client locations are not certain
4. Server to server interaction is normal
5. Rich multimedia type of data transaction
6. Designed and implemented on Internet environment
7.Application is loaded at the server but No exe is installed at the client machine. We have to call the application through browser
