Should the clientside software be deployed as a browserbased

Should the client-side software be deployed as a browser-based application or as an installable app?Explain. Be sure to consider such issues as client/server communication requirements and frequency, user-interface quality, and portability across devices and operation systems.

Solution

Yes.

client-side software be deployed as a browser-based application or as an installable app.It is consider as clinet/server app.

That type of implementation is depends on product and product developers.

For example an online exam system ,server is located some where in lan,clients side software that is browser frame work .This browser framework connects the server for getting questions .Some times this browser frame work created like installer also.

user-interface quality, and portability are depends on technology which is selected to implement.

Example : Java technolgy applications run various systems with good interface implementaion ,may be some other not work on all platforms.

communication requirements and frequency are depends on varios factors not only in application level i.e )

hardware devices, memory required to establish connection ,number connections handled by server at a time ,frequence to give response ,proper connection establsihment in application and closing when not needed ,destryoing connection memory affter closign connection etc.
