Does Testing God Lead to More Tests?

Recently read the story of Gideon from Judges 6 (and following).  Always a good read.  One of the more well-known parts of the story is Gideon's testing of God with the wet and dry fleeces.  What I found interesting this time through the story was noticing God's testing of Gideon (by lowering his army from over 10,000 soldiers to a mere 300) followed Gideon's testing of God with the fleece.

From a casual reading of the text, God isn't upset with Gideon over the test of the fleece.  I think God can handle our testing.  But I wonder what happens if Gideon simply obeys and skips the whole wet and dry fleece event.  Does God still narrow the army?  Or does the story change somewhat because Gideon obeyed right away instead of needing proof before continuing with obedience?
