I have solved this problem. The problem was mainly because of the dependency

 
    javaee 
    javaee-api 
    5 
    provided 

Actually this dependency was required for EJB so I placed this in my parent pom (and also in my testcases pom). Since my test case's pom had a parent depedency, by default it will be inherited. If you add this dependency then u must have a java EE container to run the program. Testcase does not require Java EE container.

Remove this dependency if you have the one in your pom file.

Have a look on Problem running unit tests from maven (JPA related) for more detail.
