since the example was not a complete working ant buildfile, only a target spec., 
the necessary <taskdef...> for webtest is missing, and your error is an
ant issue:
<project>
  <property name="webtest.home" value="/opt/java/webtest"/>
  <property name="junit.classpath" value="/usr/share/java/junit.jar"/>
  <taskdef file="${webtest.home}/webtestTaskdefs.properties">
    <classpath>
      <fileset dir="${webtest.home}">
        <include name="lib/*.jar"/>
        <include name="lib/base/*.jar"/>
        <include name="lib/optional/*.jar"/>
      </fileset>
      <fileset file="${junit.classpath}"/>
      <pathelement path="${webtest.home}/lib"/>
    </classpath>
  </taskdef> 
  <target name="ask-google">
  ...
  </target>
</project>

since this depends on your local setup, where you installed webtest and
junit, i left it out.
