Hope can help someone, the test class should place into src/test/java, and then the error resolved.

Looks like those error were printed during the "compile" phase. I am guessing that the missing class is in the spring-test artifact, which you have scoped as 'test'. Looks like you have test classes in src/main, they should be in src/test.
