Cousin bug analysis
A cousin bug from a known bug is a bug that has the same root cause as the reference bug.
A cousin bug analysis is to search for bugs that would be caused by the same root cause as another bug we had recently. Imagine we had a bug that was very difficult to analyze, and for which we finally identified the root cause. We can then analyze whether the same root cause could generate other bugs in other parts of the system.
