Hi,

 

@future, @isTest are the apex annotations which prefixed with @ symbol.

 

@future means the code executed asynchronously when salesforce resources are available.

 

@isTest is to specify the code writted is to cover other code and indicates taht the code Test Code,

As per your question here is difference between synchronious & asynchronious :

synchronious :
Here synchronious process will be performed with full surity in same thread. these do not depend any resources.

Asynchronious :

these type of processes depends on resources available on org.
