Most modern cars will give you a warning either in the form of a 'catalyst' light on the dash or a diagnostic code. As far as testing, a vacuum test or backpressure test can be performed. Either test will confirm or rule out the presence of a plugged converter. I have those tests somewhere in my notes but if you google 'catalytic converter testing' the same tests I'm referring to should come up.
