Support status guide
End of life (EOL) is the end of a product’s useful life. When a product reaches the end of its life cycle, the manufacturer no longer supports it. The following table explains the different phases of a product’s lifecycle. Testing status is when the product is initially released and EOL is when product support is no longer offered. The time between these two points is the support timeframe.
Testing
The software is not yet publicly available. It is in testing phase i.e., alpha, beta, release preview etc.

Formerly known as Team Foundation Server (TFS), the Azure DevOps Server does not have a fixed release cadence. A newer version can be released each year, or 2 years apart.
However, once released, the major versions receive 5 years of active support, during which they receive updates for bug fixes, new features, and security updates. After that, the version receives security support for another 5 years, during which they only receive updates to patch critical security vulnerabilities.
