//Table Header

TestCAse ID   Environement  Source folder

<text box>      <text box>       <Text box>

TestCAse ID	Environement	Source folder
<text box>	<text box>	<text box>

Code is 

public void add inputs(){
// here I will get three elements in the list
   List<Webelement> tlabels = BrowserFactory.getdriver().findElements(By.xPath("//div/table/thead/tr[@class='ng.binding']")
// here I will get three elements related to input box in the list
List<Webelement> ltexts= BrowserFactory.getdriver().findElements(By.xPath("//div/table/tbody/tr/td/input[@class='ng-scope-input']")

for (Webelement label: tlabels )
{
if (label.getText().equals("TestCAse ID"))
{
// here I have to enter the string . //need help how we can use following-sibling for table type of structure.
}
}
}

Why do you want to use the following-sibling? for your use case you could probably try the following:

List<WebElement> labels = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//table[@class='table-response']//tr//th"));
        int i=1;
        for (WebElement label: labels )
        {
        if (label.getText().equals("environment"))
         {
           label.findElement(By.xpath("./following::input[" + i + "]")).sendKeys("Environment");
         }
         i=i+1;
        }

Hope this helps!
