Thanks for responding! I'll add a section on testing the tool itself (which we do with shell tests) and testing the interfaces (which we do by running the main LLDB API test suite against liblldbrpc).

Both the RPC client and server are built as binaries that each have a main. The RPC core code contains the functionality for a client binary to connect to RPC and then interface with the `lldb-rpc-server` binary, so Xcode isn't the only way to create a session. This is how we set up the API test suite for RPC, as Python is used as the client binary for the RPC session.
