Moved the multiplication of 'test_size' by 1024 before comparing it to 'BUFFER_SIZE'. This prevents a potential buffer overflow when 'test_size' equals 'BUFFER_SIZE'.

This pull request fixes a potential buffer overflow in the calculation of 'test_size', as described in issue #4. In the original code, 'test_size' (in KB) was compared to 'BUFFER_SIZE' (in bytes) before converting 'test_size' to bytes. This could lead to a buffer overflow.
The fix is simple: we now convert 'test_size' to bytes before comparing it to 'BUFFER_SIZE'. This ensures that 'test_size' never exceeds 'BUFFER_SIZE', preventing any potential buffer overflow.
