This paper presents Speculate, a tool that automatically conjectures laws involving conditional equations and inequalities about Haskell functions. Speculate enumerates expressions involving a given collection of Haskell functions, testing to separate those expressions into apparent equivalence classes. Expressions in the same equivalence class are used to conjecture equations. Representative expressions of different equivalence classes are used to conjecture conditional equations and inequalities. Speculate uses lightweight equational reasoning based on term rewriting to discard redundant laws and to avoid needless testing. Several applications demonstrate the effectiveness of Speculate.
