Applicability

Exceptions are used to handle exceptional conditions. If an exception is not caught, the program will be terminated. An exception that is incorrectly caught or is caught at the wrong level of recovery will likely cause incorrect behavior.

Automated Detection

Automated detection is not feasible.
