Thankyou for the link but are you sure this takes events like reverse mergers into account???
I read over their website and it seems it's just a standard backtesting tool using excel....

How do we know that your program won't install a backdoor and steal passwords, cc numbers, or other important info. Oh yes, you will come back and say that you are a nice guy
If you have skillz, you could verify whether it does any of this. That would be a real contribution to the discussion. Accusing the guy (who, by the way, I don't know or care about) without having any information is low-rent.
Uhh, shouldn't the OP just use a quality data feed that has been adjusted for corporate actions and dividends already? Such as CSI? You can also have the database include delisted stocks too, but it's pricey.
Or is he running a strategy that needs both sets of data and a list of when all the actions happened? Much harder.

As you said, this seems to be a data issue rather than a software one.Quote from Traveler:

Hi, I am looking for a realistic stock backtesting software that takes into account mergers, reverse splits, and reverse mergers. Does such a software exist? Preferably free?
Thank you all in advance
TradersStudio? Not free, but can produce reports using split adjusted and dividend adjusted data.
