ETM: Adapt predefined setting for Estimate and Time Spend

We would like to change the predefined setting in ETM for the following fields:


- Estimate (in Test Case)

- Time Spent (in Test Case Execution Record)

-> Currently the tool takes 8h as 1d, 5d as 1w.


Is it possible to define 24h as 1d, 7d as 1w, etc?


Use Case:

For regression testing, automated test runs more than 8h (24hrs) per days also during weekend.


While efforts are estimated considering above scenario's.


For 100hrs efforts

Estimated = 168hrs (7d / 1w)

Calculated by tool=168hrs (21d / 4 w)
