Visualstudio-docs: Isn't Lab Manager via Test Manager obsolete?

[sulu99]

We have been told not to use Test Manager as Microsoft is going to stop supporting it. To that end, we have been designing our automated test cases in such a way so that they can be run by anyone in our department via the web portal. Is the Test Manager going away?

@sulu99 I believe Test Manager is not supported in VS 2019. @kendrahavens in case she has more info on this.
See this doc:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/test/mtm/run-manual-tests-with-microsoft-test-manager?view=azure-devops

Correct, the local Test Manager experience in Visual Studio 2017 is the last version. We recommend using Azure Test Plans the Test hub in TFS.

Thanks. For the doc here, I will update it so that the section on Test Manager is VS 2017 only.
