Test Plan
System Diagram
To ensure that the connection with Instagram’s API is reliable enough to gather large amounts of data, Factogram was tested by logging in with several Instagram accounts. Factogram has also been tested to ensure that it can analyze profiles that are used lightly(1-200photos), moderately( photos) and profiles that are used heavily(750+ photos).
Future Work
In the future, Factogram intends on becoming available on mobile devices, specifically those running iOS and Android operating systems. In a future version, Factogram plans on integrating with Twitter and Facebook, which will allow a user to share the results with their friends.
