java.lang.NoSuchMethodError suggests that you may have some conflict of versions of your dependecies. Check if you do not have the same libs in different versions being loaded (they may be brought as transitive dependencies) — Nadir, May 04 '16 at 10:07
Ok, so maybe one of your dependencies expects a different version of the lib, but maven fetches different one (because some other dep has in lower/higher version) — Nadir, May 04 '16 at 10:36
I have updated the question with maven dependency:tree details. I am getting is there any issue or not. for me it looks ok. Do you see any issue? — mike, May 05 '16 at 07:15
Try this solution http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8237181/spring-junit-test-error — Nadir, May 05 '16 at 08:40
thanks nadir, this is due to version conflict. now its resolved. thanks again — mike, May 09 '16 at 10:04

In my case, I encountered this error while using the Eclipse IDE and fixed the error by correcting the JRE version used by my Run Configuration.
