  web browser.
• It can also be defined like, any website which is
  performing some functions for the users.
• Web applications sometimes are built for a
  specific platform just like a cross-platform app
  development services.

• Users can utilize any application from any
  computer through the internet connectivity.
• The developers say that almost any desktop
  software can be developed as the web-based
  application.

Pros of web Applications
High profile developers suggest the businesses
craft the web based application. Here are the
reasons why web apps are highly preferable.

1) Cost effective development

• Developing using web apps is, availability with
  less expense.
• A common app can be developed considering a
  single operating system.
• The software testers accomplish their task and
  ensure that it performs smoothly on all possible
  platforms.
• Users can access the system through the uniform
  environment.

• A range of devices and their versions are
  available in the market.
• Web apps easily support all the devices connected
  with the internet.
• Operate the web apps simply in PDAs and Smart
  Phones.
• With the web applications development services,
  it has turned trouble free to send and receive
  information with the extended performance.

5) Enhanced Interoperability

• Isolated desktop systems are not so far
  interoperable with compare to the web
  applications.
• This statement has been supported by many
  industry leaders that with the use of web
  applications a greater level of interoperability

  advancements.
• Web apps need to be extended with the exclusive
  features. it seems a simple task to increase the
  processor capacity.
• Clustering is the process to boost the capacity
  of web-based software.
• An expert can also integrate new servers on the
  situation of increased workload.

  for the good purpose.
• But, each option has its own attitude towards
  some critical conditions.
• There are both positive and negative sides of
  each technology existing.
• Each platform has its own environment defined for
  web app development.
• The Limitations or we can consider the
  disadvantages of web applications are

16
1) Overhead Increased Size

• It is noticed that, with compare to the native
  desktop applications, the web applications work
  and function slowly.
• The other factor affects a lot is, during the web
  application development developer ships entire
  web browser with the app.
• Hence, as a result the app size increases.

17
2) Restrictions for Client Side

• Inside the browser, clients can not read the
  files, print or email.
• Because this is considered as a security hole for
