Is it possible to break down estimates so that development and testing estimates can be separate?

Question

The development team uses Jira to track their work.  Developers are expected to add estimates to most tickets.  However development time is only part of the overall time to close tickets - QA time is equally important, and in many cases may be much longer than development time.  We would like a way to estimate development and testing time separately rather than chucking it all into a single bucket.  Logging time should be separate so we can track dev vs QA time separately and easily.

You can add a custom field in Jira, if your admins allow you to.  Mine wont and Im stuck without a solution

So the more I see how Jira is used (in an Agile, and particularly Scrum manner) the more uncomfortable I am with the number of tickets that get generated.  One little feature could have 10 or more tickets associated with it, stories, tests, etc.  Aie dios mio.

Nope, the parent company got rid of the team before I got an answer.  Still curious though!
