ARA tools help cultivate [[DevOps]] best practices by providing a combination of automation, environment modeling and workflow-management capabilities. These practices help teams deliver software rapidly, reliably and responsibly. ARA tools achieve a key DevOps goal of implementing [[continuous delivery]] with a large quantity of releases quickly. <ref>{{cite report |title=Garner Market Trends: DevOps – Not a Market, but Tool-Centric Philosophy That supports a Continuous Delivery Value Chain |publisher=Gartner |date=18 February 2015}}</ref>

== ARA Solutions ==
All ARA solutions must include capabilities in automation, environment modeling, and release coordination. Additionally, the solution must provide this functionality without reliance on other tools. <ref>{{cite report |title=Critical Capabilities for Application Release Automation Solutions |publisher=Gartner | last=Fletcher |first=Colin |date=1 August 2016}}</ref>
