The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for generating a virtual Internet-of-things device on the basis of an Internet-of-things model of an Internet-of-things solution. In the method, a first number of Internet-of-things models of an Internet-of-things solution are obtained; a variable in the first number of Internet-of-things models is subjected to variable attribute expansion to add an extended variable attribute to the variable; variable link relations and variable link processing rules for the extended Internet-of-things models are configured to obtain an Internet-of-things model configuration file; and a second number of virtual Internet-of-things devices are obtained on the basis of a virtual physical network device architecture by using the Internet-of-things model configuration file. According to the method, virtual Internet-of-things devices suitable for testing of an Internet-of-things solution are generated, the virtual Internet-of-things devices can replace real Internet-of-things devices to generate simulated data, and the generated simulated data is supplied to an Internet-of-things cloud platform to complete a testing process for the Internet-of-things solution.
