In order to have transaction support in Arquillian tests you will need to bring in extension which enables this feature. In your case jta dependency should do the job.

  org.jboss.arquillian.extension
  arquillian-transaction-jta
  test

In addition, if you are using JBoss, you will need to provide its JNDI for UserTranscation, so put following section in your arquillian.xml:

     

  
    java:jboss/UserTransaction
  

This way you can use @Transactional which comes from this extension's API.
