Is it permitted to test Hashem with tzedakah and maaser?

According to [2], Hashem says "Please, put Me to the test in this matter" regarding tzedakah, implying that it is permitted to test Hashem with tzedakah. Additionally, [2] mentions that bringing all the tithes is a way to test Hashem, suggesting that maaser is also included in this test. However, for a definitive halachic ruling, it is best to consult a competent rabbi.
