We present Spectacular, a new tool for automatically discovering candidate laws for use in property-based testing. By using the recently-developed technique of ECTAs (Equality-Constrained Tree Automata), Spectacular improves upon previous approaches such as QuickSpec: it can explore vastly larger program spaces and start generating candidate laws within 20 seconds from a benchmark where QuickSpec runs for ~45 minutes and then crashes (due to memory limits, even on a 256 GB machine). Thanks to the ability of ECTAs to efficiently search constrained program spaces, Spectacular is fast enough to find candidate laws in more generally typed settings than the monomorphized one, even for signatures with dozens of functions.
