If the developer says so, he coded it. He has surely set a cookie, a phpsessionid, or whatever, valid just for a session (in short yes it's possible to do it).
Hard to say if he did what he pretended to do, without more information. But if you have any doubt, why not just checking by yourself?Login, close the browser, restart, try to get acces to the webapp without logging in again, and check wether he's right.

We have a web applicaiton which do not have logoff button. The developer claims that it is unnecessary, since the session can be terminated by closing the browser. Is it correct?
