Here are some ideas for a few basic scenarios/tasks for a self-service Horizon user…

Scenario: Launching an instance
Individual Tasks:
-Create a security key pair. (Could be set up optionally before test)
-Create a network. (Could be set up optionally before test)
-Import an image. (Could be optional)
-Launch an instance using security key pair X, network Y, and image Z. (Could add in additional requirements such as size or number of instances to launch.)
-Confirm that instance was launched successfully.

Scenario: Understand how many vCPUs are currently in use vs. how much quota is left.
Individual Tasks:
-Check out Overview Page to review current quota use/limit details.

Scenario: Take a snapshot of an Instance to save for later use.
Individual Tasks:
-Either Launch an instance successfully, or identify a running instance in the instance view.
-Choose to take a snapshot of that instance.
-Confirm that the snapshot was successful.

Scenario: Launch an instance from a snapshot.
Individual Tasks:
-Choose to either create an instance and boot from a snapshot, or identify a snapshot to create an instance from.
-Confirm that the instance was started successfully. 

Scenario: Launch an instance that boots from a specific volume.
Individual Tasks:
-Create a volume (Could be set up optionally before test)
-Launch an instance using Volume X as a boot source.

We still need to have some discussion internally on who should participate, but would suspect that individulas willing to actively participate will be given priority.  We are planning to meet as a group at the end of each day to discuss what we observed as a team.
