error ?

This is one of the common issue people face when running testng suites. 

Most common reason is conflicting of testng versions. May be there are 2 versions of testng in your classpath , which are causing this issue.

Check your maven dependency from Build path

[Right click on project-->Build Path -->Configure build path --> Maven dependency and check for testng]

if there are 2 version of testng, delete one. 

This should solve your problem.
