Additional checks for a Bug

  1. Consider cherry-pick for previous release(s)
  2. Add Jira reference to relevant section in read the docs (RTD) ('Bug Fixes' and possibly 'Security Notes'). The slogan does NOT have to be identical to the Jira, it often could/should be a better  description of the change

  3. Complete an Fault Slip-through Analysis (FSA) and add as a comment in Jira

  4. Agree with Customer the FSA especially if there are any follow-up actions needed BEFORE closing the bug
