In Kafka 2.1, the `Serializer` and `Deserializer` interface were
changed:

It seems, that updating to 2.2.0 for the test driver does not update
your dependency to `kafka-client` package. Try to add this dependency
explicitly
It seems like the Kafka test driver is not compatible with the latest
kafka-streams API. When I use the following two dependencies together.
org.apache.kafka
kafka-streams-test-utils
2.2.0
test
org.apache.kafka
