How to detect Application crush during test and skip test

The test application crashes during automated testing, causing delays as it verifies the objects and performs actions on the application. It keeps causing delays until the application is closed in test items after multiple test items, followed by the application open command

The test framework is too large to effectively use the try-catch method on multiple functions. 

Can we detect the error?  Testcomplete displays an exception code.
i also want to skip test items if application is not available and if application is true
