To increase the quality and durability of the application, developers in the IT field use to develop applications by combining the various components. Applications made up of various components connected via network on the diverse platforms in the separate runtime environments.

Distributed application development is the combine efforts of the application developers such as their commitment to consistence efforts which bring gradual quality in the processes by employing new technologies. In the real terms of distributed applications are two-tier, three-tier and N-tier applications.

Based on the multi-tiered development architecture, the simplest form of this process is two-tier development of the application such as client-server protocol in which developers use to set the environment for specifying the behaviors of two collaborating processes. In the combination of two-tier process, the combining process initiates with request from first process (client) to second process (server), after receiving the clients request ...
... second process (server) performs a service in response to first process (client). In the two tier process (client-server process), second process (server) is capable of combining with several first processes (clients) and servers are capable of coordinating & synchronize of their responses for multiple clients. In the three-tier architecture (distributed architecture) process, developers use to combine three processes for development of applications. First process (client), third process (server) and second or middle process, which is combined in between these two process to work as a mediator.

In the modern times with the increase of diverse demands of the application users, distributed applications are heavily demanded by the various industries such as telecom industry, banking industry, airline industry, etc. To fulfill the demand of each business sector developers are developing distributed applications, according to the requirement of the projects from any industry, developers use to develop either two tier based application or three tier based applications. With the regular growth in these sectors companies which are using distributed based applications always look for integrations and addition of new features, where developers can easily modify & integrate. From the developer’s point of view, making and modifying any changes in the application becomes very easy, when application is based on distributed architecture. According to expert application developers, distributed application life-cycle can be divided in four stages like design stage, implementation & testing phase, deployment & utilization phase and maintenance & evolution stage.

There are various benefits of using distributed technology for the development of applications such as consistency, quality, usability, stability, reusability and many more.
