I don't understand this, why would you want people to test something that's already predefined? You could automate that. You want real users that will use the app for real things. Blind testing from a list seems kind of pointless.

The goal is to detect usability issues. Your features should have user stories associated to them, come up with few scenarios around these (e.g. book a flight, cancel your flight from the landing page...). Then test your scenarios with multiple users/personas. This will allow you to detect UX/usabilities issues, and prioritize update based on how critical the issue is.
Exactly and with multiple recordings of each user story you will be able to see if your design is idiot proof or not.
Umm it’s design keep it simple for all users from grandma to power users.
