❔ How to properly structure projects in a multi-app MVVM solution?

I tend to structure my MVVM projects in the following way:

.
├── src/
│   ├── Applications/
│   │   ├── Cashier.Terminal.csproj
│   │   ├── Cashier.Administrator.csproj
│   │   └── ..
│   ├── Servers/
│   │   ├── Database.csproj
│   │   ├── Email.csproj
│   │   └── ..
│   ├── Libraries/
│   │   ├── Helpers/
│   │   │   └── ..
│   │   ├── Views/
│   │   │   └── ..
│   │   ├── ViewModels/
│   │   │   └── ..
│   │   ├── Models/
│   │   │   └── ..
│   │   └── Entities/
│   │       └── ..
│   └── Plugins/
│       └── ..
└── test/

.
├── src/
│   ├── Applications/
│   │   ├── Cashier.Terminal.csproj

│   │   └── ..
│   ├── Libraries/

│   │   │   └── ..
│   │   ├── Views/
│   │   │   └── ..
│   │   ├── ViewModels/
│   │   │   └── ..
│   │   ├── Models/

└── test/

The question is whether I'm not shooting myself in the foot with this approach and whether there is a better approach? Here are the following criteria I want my structure to comply with: - Separation of Applications, Servers, Plugins - An application is a program an end user interacts with - A server is something that, e.g., is accessible via an API and is used to access the DB, or perform specialized operations such as sending an email - Views and ViewModels will be shareable between multiple applications - they must be available as individual projects Is it possible to achieve that in a better way? What is the best way to structure tests (unit, integration, and application) for the projects, either with my structure or the one you propose?
