Define function just for test in Clojure

I am writing some tests in Clojure and I am wondering whether a def/defn inside deftest is seen from other deftest in other namespaces. I am also inclined to think that this is bad practice and there is a more idiomatic way to share test functions (to create mocks for instance). Is there?

At the moment, defining:

(deftest tests

  (defn- mock-element
  [is-valid]
    (reify...

Doesn't expose mock-element outside the namespace, or I am doing something wrong. Is there a way to achieve this?

def is always global: if you want something local, use let or letfn:

(deftest tests
  (letfn [(mock-element [is-valid]
            (reify...)]
    ...))
