When Trigger.IsInsert and Trigger.IsUpdate fires?

When Trigger.IsInsert and Trigger.IsUpdate fires?

 

Is it 'before' event or 'after' event or both?

For both

 

When you use two events (after insert,after update)

 

Then for isInsert() it will execute when it is called on insertion and same as update.

"Trigger.IsInsert"  and  "Trigger.IsUpdate" are both trigger Context Variables and These variables are contained in theSystem.Triggerclass.

 

"Trigger.IsInsert " returns true  if this trigger was fired due to an insert operation, from the Salesforce user interface, Apex, or the API.

"Trigger.IsUpdate" returns true if  this trigger was fired due to an update operation, from the Salesforce user interface, Apex, or the API.

These variables are applicalbe for both "before" and "after" event as well.

Is it possible to combine them into one condition?
Ie: IF (Trigger.isInsert OR Trigger.isUpdate) {}

Or something like 
IF (Trigger.isBefore AND Trigger.isInsert) {}

?

Yes, it is possible, and very useful at times, to combine them into a single logical evaluation.
