## Digital experience tests to authenticated resources and enhanced configuration

[Digital Experience Monitoring](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/insights/dex/)

Copy as Markdown| [View as Markdown](https://developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/post/2026-04-29-dex-tests-to-auth/index.md)| [Agent setup](https://developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

[Digital experience tests](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/insights/dex/tests/) now support testing applications protected by Cloudflare Access or third-party authentication. All authentication secrets are managed via [Cloudflare Secret Store](https://developers.cloudflare.com/secrets-store/).

Digital experience tests also have enhanced configuration options including:

- New HTTP methods (DELETE, PATCH, POST, PUT)
- Secret Store headers, custom plain text headers, and custom request bodies
- Advanced settings: follow redirects, response bodies, response headers, and allow untrusted certificates
