There is game which has 20 levels. Only an expert can reach the 20the level. If you, as a tester, can play the game only upto 12th level then how will you test the game at 20th level?

I would request to the developer to give me temporary access to the full game for testing purpose after the completion of testing again i request to the developer to remove that temporary access.

No doubt about that you can use debug or cheat code to reach that level. But the best option is that you should ask the developer about the play through. Because you could not be sure even if you find the defect on that level by using debug mode.

The question is:  Suppose a bug has been produced in live for the piece of functionality you have carried out testing. How will you give explanation to PM/Manager?  

This issue can not be considered 'Out of Scope' and there must be a test case for it because it is 'a piece of functionality you have carried out testing'. 

In this scenario, the tester will need to research to determine whether the issue was caused by 1) a faulty test case, 2) a difference between Production and Test environments, or 3) by the tester's mistake or lack of follow-through.  Whatever the case may be, it is the tester's responsibility to isolate the problem and take steps to correct it.  Once this has been accomplished, then the particulars of the issue should be fully disclosed to the appropriate individuals (Project Manager, Test Manager, etc.).

1. Faulty Test Case: 
a) Does the test case accurately map to the proper business requirement?  If not, then perhaps the business requirement was missed and this becomes the source of the problem.
b) Is the business requirement incorrect?  If so, then the requirement needs to be rewritten and new test case(s) produced from this new requirement.
c) Was the test case authored improperly.  That is, did the tester misunderstand the business requirement and create an improper test case?  If so, then the test case(s) need to be reauthored based on this newly correct understanding.

2. Difference between Production and Test Environment:
Does the defect occur only in the Production environment but not in the Test environment?  If so, then this must be made perfectly clear to management.  The tester may need to work with other functional groups to figure out how to bring the Test environment in alignment with Production in order to prevent this issue from reoccuring.

3. Tester oversight or lack of follow through.  As humans, we sometimes make mistakes.  There are situations when the amount of time that a test team is allowed to test becomes constricted and testers feel they must hurry to finish their test runs.  In these situations, testers inadvertently miss test steps or even entire test cases.  And it is Murphy's Law that the overlooked test case will be the one that could have uncovered a significant defect!  If this happens, the tester must own up to the error and inform management.  I have made my share of mistakes--we all do.  It is best to admit the blunder and take personal measures to ensure it doesn't happen again.  The most important aspect of ANY relationship, work or otherwise, is trust.  And if you try to cover up your mistakes, you will quickly lose the trust of your managment and cohorts.  Honest is truly the best policy in any circumstance!
