When an implementation fails to conform to its specification, i.e., when both are not related by branching bisimilarity [with explicit divergence], pinpointing the root causes can be challenging. In this paper, we provide characterisations of branching bisimilarity [with explicit divergence] as games between SPOILER and DUPLICATOR, offering an operational understanding of both relations. Moreover, we show how such games can be used to assist in diagnosing non-conformance between implementation and specification. %G English %Z TC 6 %Z WG 6.1 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01432915/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01432915/file/426757_1_En_10_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01432915 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01432915 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-TC6 %~ IFIP-WG6-1 %~ IFIP-FORTE %~ IFIP-LNCS-9688
