This reminds me of something Eli posted to c.l.s:

(define-syntax in-module
  (syntax-rules ()
    ((in-module m expr ...)
     (parameterize ((current-namespace (module->namespace 'm)))
       (eval '(begin expr ...))))))

In which case your test could be written:

(require mod)
(in-module mod
  (test/text-ui
    (make-test-suite ... a ... b ...)))
