This tool is a fully tested tool and was tested in Softpedia labs, I would like to recommend this tool because recently I was handling one of the project in which for one of the file I made some changes long back but I could not remember where I made those changes with the old file. So just I opened the respective old file first and through the menu option (Tools -> Text Differences -> Text Diff with This File…) I have opened the new file and compared the respective changes very easily and integrated the code accordingly in the new file, my job is done. I do agree that there might be some tools which does the same job but I would like to recommend it as it is a freeware product both for personal and commercial use and it does not contain any malware.
