The logging in
ExperimentServicewas broken as it contained two identical{Count}parameters.In addition, if the results of an experiment are completely empty (i.e. no components detected in the control group and experiment group), we should skip processing as an empty diff is indicative of a perfect detector.
Lastly, certain detectors running invalidates the experiment results. For instance, in the NPM Lockfile v3 experiment, if the lockfile v2 detector runs, we would be comparing the
NpmComponentDetector(which would detect N components), to theNpmLockfile3Detector(which would detect 0 components). So, the experiment is tainted and we should not process it.
