Topic: File Comparison Software

If you use a software like content management systems, blogs, ecommerce and others, you might find yourself needing to update them. No problem right?

Well, it's not a problem unless you do a lot of customization to the core files. Those updates will overwrite those custom files and  your work is lost.

To avoid this, you need to detect and merge the differences of each file, compare source code, compare program output, etc.

Below are a few software that can do the job of comparing files side by side indicating which lines of codes have been changed or any code that you have customized vs the upgrade files.
