地应力测试技术多样，缺乏相互间的横向比较，各种方法的无选择应用制约了行业的整体发展。简要介绍了地应力测试技术的发展过程和分类，借用机械设计方案评价的基本原理，建立简单评价体系，对常用地应力测试技术的功能性、经济性、操作及安全性先进行单项评价，再进行综合评价。根据评价结果给出了结论，并提出了地应力测试技术的发展方向。

This paper gives a brief recommendation on developing procedure and classification of the insitu stress measurement techniques. The authors establish a simple evaluation system by the aid of the basic theory of mechanical design, and compare the functionality, economical efficiency, maneuverability and security of every examination method, and give the comprehensive evaluations at last. At the end of the article the autors point out the developing direction of the testing technique.
