Who's your audience?  Programmers, testers,...?  Do you already use other
tools, is there disagreement in which tools to adopt?  It's hard to know
what to suggest without some context.

My team adopted WebTest because it was fairly fast to implement and learn,
the programmers were not averse to it (as they might be with other tools
using a scripting language they don't know), it integrated easily with our
CruiseControl build process, the results reporting is effective, and we
liked the idea of specifying tests rather than programming them (less likely
the test will have a bug).

WebTest is one of several tools in our toolbox, it fits a particular need we
had for GUI smoke tests.  The ROI on our regression suite has been
excellent.

I'm making a presentation on Webtest to the team

tool and why its better than the alternatives.
