Question about GUI automated test tools

Good day all
I have been stumbled with a question I now seek an answer for. The company runs projects using RUP methodology and is heading towards a more streamline SW Development process using Lean principles (Agile). But it has now graphical user interface (GUI) automated test tool as of yet. So the question is what GUI automated test tools are applicable or even available in this case? Maybe you can give examples or real cases of companies have implemented such in the similar circumstances. References are always welcome.

PS – I know there is a part of the forum devoted to tools specifically, but I would appreciate to get voices from professionals here over several specific ones.

automated GUI testing in Agile ...

It must depend on the technologies you are developing with. Here we are developing a Silverlight GUI and use VSTS to develop automated system tests. These are incorporated into the build system in a Continuous Integration environment. We don't use test driven development, but could easily move to it if needed. The tests MUST be passing in order to accept a story and the whole suite must be passing in order for the build to be GREEN and the sprint to close for showcasing.
