I don't know where database has been used

Answer 1

EmbeddedDatabaseType is part of spring-jdbc, so I would suggest adding the following dependency (if you do not already have it):
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-jdbc</artifactId>
<version>5.2.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
Please do adjust the version number (5.2.1.RELEASE) to match your other Spring dependencies!
